While I know the players are not forced to be there, the way it is currently set up I'm sure kids feel weird about leaving their team.
I'm all for independent prayer. But I feel if it is led by a school staff member at a school activity, it is inappropriate and sets the school up for legal issues. Just my 1.73 cents.

Please tell us your legal opinion on the matter. Is there any legal precedent that you care to share. You truly have no idea what you are talking about.
