That's the point, you ARE trying to impose your beliefs on people. You believe they should not have a public prayer and you are trying to impose that belief on others by sending them to a private place.

I did not say you are an atheist, I asked if you felt you have a constitutional right to act as one in public. I believe you do,and I believe they have a right to pray when and where their faith dictates to them that they should. If you find it distasteful, don't watch. I promise there are no ritual sacrifices or anything.

Once again, with all the problems our young people face today, it's sad when it is viewed by anyone as a problem that some of our best take a moment of fellowship to pray for safety and sportsmanship.
