I emphasise voluntarily here bceause that's exactly what this was - people choose to excersice their first ammendment right to pray whenever and wherever they want. This was not a city/league organized or sactioned event.

What you quoted from me above wasn't about the story we're now discussing. It was about school games, and particularly _public_ school games.

Kids can individually and, in small groups, choose to pray together. No problem there. The issue is when it's a team activity or led by an adult who's involved with the team. Then there's an issue of coercion, whether real or implied.

I think there's a gray area when it's, say, the team captain leading the prayer, since that also has a whiff of coercion.
