These posts are great! Not too serious at all! And, here's a serious question I haven't been able to find an answer to... What does it mean when a SC decision is based entirely on the wrong fact pattern. The Majority Opinion emphasized the quiet prayer-- but it wasn't! I'm actually okay with a football coach *quietly* praying after a game and not implicitly coercing players. And it seems like the majority opinion is pretending that's what he did. And, if that the case, to what degree does it actually open things up for coaches to implicitly coerce prayer in the future?
It definitely opens up the possibility of coaches doing what you described. A friend reminded me that what happened in Washington happens all the time in the South, including in NC.
