I met Hugh in Oxford for some delicious Abners chicken strips once. He kept trying to hold my hand.

I can only assume he was trying to get me to join in prayer.

I had to run though. I was late for the Klan rally.

This may be the issue and yes it's different than the way other programs do it:

quote:

Ole Miss has routinely held faith-based services on Sundays during the school year since coach Hugh Freeze arrived in 2012, and have been using the team meeting room inside the Manning Center for them.


I don't know how OM has it set up but that could cross the line since it's held in team meeting rooms and that aspect makes it look like attending services is a formal part of the football program - the same as attending practice and other formal team activities.

Unless OM has made it clear that players don't have to attend that program may in fact come to an end because of this.

Unless Ole Miss is forcing their players to pray, attend mass, etc., these Wisconsin people can GF themselves.


or unless Freeze is using his position to push his religion on players (i.e. favoring those who go to Bible study) or he is distributing literature

If it was open to the public then Coach would have already burst in there and filmed it.

Coach formed The Freedom From Religion Foundation years ago in anticipation of a good Christian man like Freeze becoming the great Devil's coach.

Jesus H. Christ. This group can go sit on an upside down barstool. Really? Going after a football team and its prayer time? It's stupid little stuff like this that helps foster the christian persecution in america circle jerk. Now they lose credibility when they go after something real like creationism in the classroom.

Not enough dedication. Coach will hang himself from a cross in an Ole miss Jersey to take us down.

Unless Freeze is using his position to push his religion I agree with you

If creationism isn't real then please explain how a football fits in someone's hand.

I'm surprised it's for this and not the overt racism that infects that school.

That may be what keeps it then. Teams do have to be careful to make any religious program not appear to be mandatory for the team. I can't imagine anything flagrant is going on tho. And the worst that would happen would be a ruling or agreement that said "ok you have to do it this way in order to make sure it doesn't violate anything." IOW, at worst OM may have to tweak a few things but even that will depend upon how it's all set up and the set up may be fine already.
