I get that you want it to be just about playing ball. But nothing I can think of is that black and white. People's beliefs, stigmas, opinions, and privilege play into almost everything we do. Unless you want coaches to all be robots, I don't see a solution that's cut and dry. I get that it should be done freely. Where does that freedom start? With the parent who signs up their child, the coach who huddles the team, the boy who wants to say a prayer? I don't agree that it should only be done by students. The line between personal expression of a belief and how it impacts others is still murky for me. I still feel intent plays the strongest role in making those lines. Do you disagree?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
