It doesn't. It does however indicate he doesn't keep up with modern business environments.

The argument is if it violates the establishment clause.

Keep in mind that HOW it happened plays a key role

If Auburn wants to cover their butts, they need Bruce to get up and give an opening prayer next week. That would effectively make it all good in the neighborhood

-AD employee attendance + implied "participation" is mandatory
-Prayer is at a school/government sponsored event
-Prayer is given by someone representing university/athletic department
-Prayer is clearly favoring a specific religion

It's no different than having a chaplain pray with the team


Very different, or at least that is how the university allows it. The justification for chaplain to be allowed is that players are not required/coerced into attending the prayer + brother Chette is not in an official university position and speaks as a private citizen in that role not on behalf of the university
