Sports and Religion do they mix?

Recently, I have stopped saying the lords prayer at the end of the game. It has been a tradition of the school for years. I never really thought about it, but now with my belief changing, it seems very hypocritical of me to pray to a god that I dont believe is there.

I dont believe, as a coach, I should influence the boys one way or another about their faith. I never did as a christian. To the point if they asked about my faith, I would tell them it had no bearing on how we play. Now I still believe I should not influence them. A few have noticed me not praying. Should I bow my head anyway? Or is that just being hypocritical?...something I despise now in christians.

Any and all input is welcomed!

people from different teams always pray to win the super bowl when they do they thank god and not their hard work and practice. Hungry homeless god prays to god for food gets neither food and shelte.
