Like a few prayers are going to hurt anyone.
Make them... say... Wikka prayers. Let's see who howls in pain then.

Meaning "if you were to bet that I'd object if I found out that the calls were for Satanist prayers, you would lose that bet, because I would not object."
Pick up a book, son.
Your enlightened self aside, I daresay any American community would march on the school with pitchforks and torches if they found out that anything of the sort... or even non-Christian prayers ...were being invoked to their precious children.

However I also think the other side of that coin is you can't, and shouldn't, disallow someone the right to pray.
No one's suggesting disallowing anyone the right to pray, Whilletal. Individual players can pray till they're blue in the face. They can pray before and after every play for all I care.

You just can't, in a government funded, compulsory public school, tell everyone to join in.

'm aware of that sport, my comment was directed at the governments interference too, not at the actual subject of prayers being wrong.
This is the opposite of government interference... it's government - in the form of public schools - staying OUT OF people's religion.
