I wonder how those supporting prayer with the coach on the field would feel if said coach practiced a different religion than theirs?

When we go down South with our West Coast Big City Elites team we’ll see how comfortable folks are when we ask them to drink the blood of babies and pray to Satan after the game. They can just politely decline, right?

Or can they?

How about we follow pub rules and not talk about religion or politics on DFP? I’m here to talk and learn about softball. There are plenty of other places on the inter webs to talk about those two topics.

Never seen prayer after the game. Usually before the game.
but, Towny9 got it right,
"In many religions and for many people, there is no “it has no place here”. It’s who they are and ingrained in the fabric of how they coach. If I felt differently than the coach when it came to religion I would just find a team that better suited my family’s faith."

I feel like I see "prayer circles" after a lot of the college games I watch. IT often involves both teams.

I am always interested in the intersection of religion/politics AND softball. These are tangible things that I have to deal with as a coach. There is no better place to hear from other people on that subject than at DFP. I thought the conversation was reasonable and mature even if I don't agree with everything posted.

There are a lot of threads on DFP where I don't go ('Hitting Technical' is 90% hot garbage in my opinion).

Good point, but the forum rules probably have good reasons why “no politics or religion”.

The point has been made that some people are uncomfortable with prayer circles.
