I remember playing football in High School. I remember coaches taking a knee during prayer. Eventhough, I disagreed with the overall "Christian" prayer before, after and during some games...I understood, that this was the way of the world at this time. I will also agree with Mark that there are greater things to be worrying about, then a coach taking a knee. Albeit, if there are rules in place, they must be followed...regardless of whomever's beliefs! I don't think there were any policies barring MY COACHES, from doing so. In this instance, there are...eventhough I don't agree with them!!!

Surely none of the football players are drinking, using drugs or steroids, skipping classes, joining gangs or beating their girlfriends. Because if any of that were going on, the school would not have time to worry about a coach who takes a knee and silently bows his head in solidarity. And I think these prayers are not typically about kicking a field goal, but rather about everyone coming home safe. Another thought the school surely must feel the need to banish.
