After a video of a pastor praying with a high school football team went viral in September, the pastor was told he could no longer pray with the team. 

Georgia pastor Russel Davis was asked to stop praying with the Dawson County public school’s football team after a viral video garnered a complaint from the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation. 

In the video, Davis prayed for the players to "unite people together" and to recognize God’s purpose for their lives.

"The Word says when they came out they compelled Him to carry the cross, and then Jesus went to the hill and He won victory on the cross," Davis says in the video. "Your goal tonight is not to die on the cross. It is not to die on the field of battle. We're calling you out tonight to carry their cross," he said pointing at a group of child football players who joined the high schoolers in the locker room. 

The Christian Post reports that after the video surfaced, the FFRF issued a letter to the school district demanding that they terminate Pastor Russell from his position of character coach and end the allowance of prayer led by him or any other volunteer or employee. FFRF called this schools allowance of prayer a “serious and flagrant violation of the Frist Amendment.” REF:www.christianheadlines.com/
