This is a discussion on an event so why would what I do personally have any relevance unless your just making ad hominem attacks... If you are, can you make them understandable? Thanks!
Not attacking at all..........just pointing out you will bow down to your master.

Discrimination is wrong no matter who the majority is. Christianity is always being attacked today, and people give it a free pass. Just because Christians make up the majority of this country doesn't mean that they don't deserve the same protections as other groups.

If the coach was a Muslim who prayed to Allah before the game I bet that the University and everyone else wouldn't care. But oh no, Pray to Jesus and it's over for you! LMAO Christian Phobia at it's finest! It's real and deserves to be recognized as hate.

There is nothing else to do besides living one's life by Bronze Age magic and superstition? You said a mouthful, right there.

He's not being discriminated against. His personal views are not at issue. It's that he wanted to proselytize to the football team.

A coach at a public school does not have the right to proselytize to his football team.

A teacher at a public school does not have the right to proselytize to his/her classroom.

You don't have the right to barge into my house and proselytize to me.

The fact you can't do those things is not "discrimination" nor does it in any way curtail your right of religious freedom.

I guess, being culturally Jewish, that's better than being made to bow my head to Jesus by as assistant football coach at UCONN.

Who do you think is my master, BTW? If I had a master, I'd want it to be Major Tony Nelson from I Dream of Jeannie.

Has nothing to do with "magic" has to do with life. You don't get it. You do what your masters tell you.

I have a better idea. Let's protect football players on PUBLIC TEAMS from having to put up with Bible thumpers, by not allowing them to proselytize to the players while being paid by the taxpayers. That sounds like a much better, simpler, and more Constitutionally-friendly solution.

Just insanity. Yes the evil "thumpers" are destroying the country. LOL

Hey lets let the football players say a friggen prayer that nobody gets hurt. Why do you folks have a problem with that? That is my question. Apparently you don't care. Wouldn't want some non conformer to have to say a prayer right? Just crazy..........absolute crazy. You don't get it though........you have been taught to do what your told........like most liberals. Thankfully there are some left.
