To me it's more bothersome to allow the PA system to be allowed to promote homophobia and more than to say a prayer. And because of that, I really don't have anything else to add. Thanks for saving me that much time and effort. Enter our writing contest and win lifetime royalty payments. Somehow, this seems to me a ridiculous situation as well as an absurdly impolite action.
Prayer is fine, wonderful and to have any meaning at all, a private activity.
A football game is not a matter that requires prayers, except possibly by a few actual participants who feel the need to pray. All the email indicates is that someone understands neither praying nor courtesy. I pray a good deal and have never said a single prayer out loud, much less in public. I don't cheapen my relationship with God by asking him to pull strings to win a football game. But then when I pray I rarely ask for anything other than understanding.
