Those of us who are Christians should walk our talk as well as be respectful of the non-biblical guideline of the Golden Rule. We should do unto others as we would have them do unto us.

We do not need, nor have the right, to announce a Jesus-based prayer across a loud speaker in order to behave in a moral manner on the football field and in the grandstands. In fact it has a Pharisee-type of theatrics to it.
So instead, the loudspeaker announcer could simply remind everyone to respect each other, have fun and enjoy the game - treating it as just what it is: a game.
