This is why I always felt at least somewhat grossed out by religion growing up. You see people like this and it just rubs you the wrong way seeing this guy sneakily and dishonestly push his religion on other people, even though there's likely numerous kids on his team who are either atheist or practicing a different religion.

@VoxVirtus86 It's a question of religious tolerance for both instances. Is someone allowed to pray privately or even outside of the bounds of their job as a public servant? Yes. But this man is still acting in his role as a coach and still literally on the field and school grounds where his job is chiefly located. You have to strike a balance between religious intolerance in either direction - whether it be allowing the coach to pray in a more individualistic manner or stopping the coach from inflicting his religion on people who are either uncomfortable with it or have their own religion already and don't appreciate being pressured into another. And most importantly, if it was a Muslim coach subtlety persuading his players to join him in a prayer to Allah after the match, there wouldn't even be a question of whether it was wrong or inappropriate. Imagine players from Christian families feeling pressured by an incredibly religious Muslim coach to get into a prostration position and pray to Allah on the 50 yard line. Now imagine if parents rightly complained to the school board about this and then in response the man went on a liberal media tour to talk about how the school board was religiously intolerant against religions they're not regularly exposed to and then ultra-woke people come out to the next football games in droves so they can storm the field and join in his prayer to Allah - so now the man has not just done a public Muslim prayer and pressured his players to join in, but now he's made a spectacle of it to ensure it's far more public. It all sounds ridiculous but that's essentially EXACTLY the scenario that's being played out here but with Christianity instead of Islam and it doesn't matter what the religion is because this country was built on religious freedom and tolerance, meaning you're allowed to exercise your religion in a personal manner however you see fit, but once you start uncomfortably pressuring the community or kids you have authoritative control over with their sports career and chances for university enrollment, well then you're just crossing the bridge into religious intolerance in the other direction - again, think about how this would appear if it were a Muslim coach going on a liberal woke media tour.

Mad Max If a teacher is having his/her kids huddle up and do school exercises to make believe they're homosexuals (even if the exercise is optional) then that would absolutely be inappropriate & wrong as well, which is essentially the equivalent to what this coach is doing in terms of religion - pressuring kids, who might not be religious or specifically Christian, to join in on a Christian prayer with the fear they might not get a recommendation letter or get less game time. However, if a teacher is simply explaining the facts of the world and that there are all types of different people where traditionally a man marries a woman but a minority percentage where a man and man or woman and woman marry, then that's literally just explaining how the world is. That would be like if the coach were explaining to his players how there are all types of religions and you could pray to God, but you could also pray to Allah or some people don't pray at all. Did the coach do that? No, he pressured his kids into just joining in on the religious activities he enjoys doing in his own personal life.

I guess that "Muslim teacher with a headscarf" is now allowed to say an Islamic prayer when he takes the kids on a field trip that extends "after school hours".
