Since most schools playing under Fed receive government money in some way or another, a high school player mimicking a major-leaguer and pointing skyward is apparently violating the U.S. Constitution. In the spirit of political correctness, and to avoid stressing atheists, perhaps Fed should prohibit any ballfield action that might be interpreted as acknowledging the existence of God.
There's already a Fed rule against "simulating tobacco use." They could simply add "simulating belief in God."

How are you going to create a rule and apply it to Catholic or Christian schools which their mission is to praise God? In all my post season games the Regional I was assigned had only one public school in the pairings. In my Sectional (4 different Regionals feeding into the Sectional) all the teams were Christian and/or Catholic schools. So how can you create a rule that entire conferences are made up of Catholic and Private schools? That would be a bad idea if you ask me.
