    This I wholly agree with. Hysteria has massively interfered with appropriate prescribing of opioids for people in pain.

      Correct.

      And fentanyl is the main problem, not opioids.

              Now, I hope he owns the school board.

              As somebody who has taken, and given, some pretty nasty shots on a football field, a little prayer can't hurt.

                I don't know enough about this to agree or disagree.

                But I wonder if this means that anybody can do it. In other word, what if a fan want to pray on the field after the game? Is it restricted to only the coach? If a player wants to have a Devil prayer, would that be allowed?

                    @Jolly LOL.

                    Probably won't do that. But, my personality is that religion is a private things for me. If I were a strong christian, I probably would not even join the prayer, even if I agreed with it. Not my "style" I guess. I would be more comfortable doing it by myself, on my own terms.

                    But, thats what makes the world great - everybody is a bit different.

                      Different. (1) Because NFL is a private league, NFL players’ employers are private employers, these private league/employers can endorse, require, or ban certain religious expressions on their premises without running afoul of the First Amendment. (2) The nature of Kaepernick’s expression is not religious.

                      The “Washing state football coach” case is different because the football coach is a state employee, an “agent of the state,” hence his public religious expression was called into question as to whether it violated the First Amendment.

                      The First Amendment limits what the state (and its agents) can do with religion. The First Amendment does not restrict what a private entity can do with religion.

                        It’s not just “everybody is a bit different,” but the religious teachings themselves are different.

                        Some religions’ teachings are devoid of any encouragement for you to share your faith/belief with others. Some other religions teach that you should share your faith/belied with others, to various degrees, at various levels of insistence.

                          All true. But that reasoning didn't seem to percolate to the surface when Kaepernick was "taking a knee" or wearing socks with "pig" embroidered on them.

                          I wonder why.
