There is serious drama in Kountze about the usage of Bible scripture on the front of the banners football players burst through during their game. One side claims that it isn't allowed due to separation of church and state, the other side claims it's a violation of their rights.
I can understand where both groups are coming from. People love their religion, have a great sense of pride, commitment and belief that cannot and should not be shaken by mere mortals. To not wear it like a badge of honor goes against the grain, shows that they are hiding their light under a bushel, as the children song says.
I say, if the football players and cheerleaders agree that it's appropriate then so be it, live and let live.
However, if even one football player, cheerleader or anyone else takes any level of offense, it shouldn't be done. There is a level of caution to be had to be certain faith is not elevated to levels of extremism.
"It's just a dang 'ole football banner, what's the big deal, they're just taking pride in their beliefs," is the emotion coming from supporters. That's only sort of correct. Lets say there are a couple players on the team who object, then would it be OK to coerce them into running through a banner they don't support?
Statistically the Millennial generation, born after 1981, is the most nonreligious generation yet, according to a Pew Research Centers study. Having an objecting player run through that banner is comparable to Christians running through a banner with an enormous inverted pentagram scrawled across it  in the blood of sacrificial goats, honestly that team might win from a forfeiture alone. Of course Christians will think that's a bit extreme, but non-believers view the down-your-throat actions of the "turn the other cheek crowd," a bit over the top as well.
The mustard seed parable is a prime example of what Christians typically view as ministry. Plant a small seed of love in someone's heart and it will grow into a great plant capable of sheltering fauna. It is the conundrum of whether one should flood the seed with fertilizer and water or simply let it grow that seems to find contention.
This isn't about who's beliefs are more important, it's about understanding that if something you are doing offends your neighbor, then don't do it. Is it going to actually hurt anyone to simply switch the banners to the tried and true, "Go, Fight, Win," style? The believers will still believe and the non-believers will feel like part of the team again. People of various religions have different beliefs, don't agree, that's fine but show that love is bigger than dogma. Some people believe Jesus is their savior, some that we are to repeat this life repetitiously until we reach enlightenment, others that God is a big floating pile of pasta and meatballs; look up what a pastafarian is if you don't believe me. I say just let it go, shake hands and play some football.
