From the Los Angeles Times: California atheist Stuart Bechman, likening the climate of today to that of the McCarthy era, says he "feels stress when a major-leaguer points skyward after a hit."

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."
