I like him for dumping the punk Kelly kid. Good for Dabo and Clemson. I also like he had coach Brooks on staff! Go Vols!!

So what's the problem? Is anyone being forced to pray? Forced to study the Bible? As a matter of fact is anyone being forced to do anything here? Doesn't seem like it. Seems like this is just another case of an anti-religious group who are whining and crying about those who are religious.

Religious bigots. Now if people are being FORCED to participate in religious activities then that needs to be stopped immediately. Otherwise leave the religious people alone, they are not hurting anyone.

I dislike religion a lot, but the first amendment says people can practice worship how they want to, to a point. Can't be a snake charmer.

Let the kids pray.

I mean, really, anybody acting like this is some sort of new thing is just out of touch with reality. If you went to school anywhere in the South, or maybe even elsewhere, and you played any sort of sport, there's a 98% chance your coach said a team prayer in the huddle. It's just the way things are. The question when I was growing up was never "do you go to church" - it was "where do you go to church"?

If they really think Dabo is the only one doing this, they're out of their minds. Hugh Freeze is deeply and outspokenly religious. I wouldn't be shocked at all if most D1 coaches in America have prayed with their teams at one point or another. Again, Butch Jones, with 120 thousand followers on Twitter, is clearly taking a knee in prayer with the team in his profile picture.

The warning from Jesus was to not be a hypocrite. Praying was only used as an example.

It was not a warning, but teaching on HOW not to be a hypocrite. You either believe Jesus or you don't. Can't have it both ways. Public prayer is false Christianity.....

I would love to see the reactions of you people if Dabo was a Muslim, and he was doing the same type of stuff. I know y'all wouldn't be jumping to his defense.

If you can't make a connection to UT football from this, then I am sorry for you my friend.

I guess to feel sorry for the moderation staff. They didn't see the connection either.

You realize Jesus taught against prayer in public (Matthew 6:5-6).

You're misconstruing what Christ said. He's not referring to literally praying in public i.e. praying for safety at a high school football game. That message is intended for those who are praying in public with the intention of drawing attention to themselves and not doing it for the glory of God i.e. the Bible thumpers who stand on Bourbon St and shout prayers for everyone else.

You really have a reading comprehension problem if that's what you take from the given context of verses 1-10 or so.

This is out of control. So the non-religious complain about how when we (Christians) pray or worship in public because they think we are violating their rights... But it is ok for them to tell us what to do.. Makes perfect sense....

No one is forced. If you don't believe in God or Jesus, move on with our day and worry about something else.

They're telling you not to force your beliefs on someone who isn't interested. Don't act like that means they're trying to hypocritically boss you around.

I still don't understand the America was founded on Cristianity thing. I realize that most of the people living in America were Christian. But most of our founding fathers were Deists, not Christians. The constitution does not mention God, Jesus or any supreme being once. Thomas Jefferson for example, the author of the constitution did not believe in Jesus's divinity but believed that a God created the Universe and then left it alone. In modern day the deist movement
has become Athiesm.

It's an idiotic attempt to refute the whole "separation of church and state" thing that usually shuts them up.

Don't forget rampant mysogeny as well! Great times back then!

I blame the folks back in the 1920s. Those hedonistic women in their flapper dresses!

Now everyone has no rights! Don't you love Obama's America.

Btw, Racism really hasn't changed in the last 40 years. As long as the Jesse Jackson mentality exists, it won't.
