Not being much of a sports fan, I hadn't noticed this, but there could be
some Constitutional problems there.  The verse definitely qualifies as
respecting an establishment of religion, which is expressly forbidden to the
government.  Many of these large stadia are city-owned, I believe, so it is
not permitted for them to do this.

Remember:  A secular government is the only way to prevent religious war.
That is why we have managed to avoid having one for two hundred years.  If
this safeguard is jeapordized, all our lives are in great danger.
