Just counter by finishing the sentence: Make America Florida Man. Once you can't say one without hearing the other, we've won.

The only problem I would have with it is using the field in such a way that it could be perceived as school sponsored. So anything that could be seen as attempting to gain an audience for his beliefs, then the school has a right to be concerned. If he's just praying for his beliefs and offering players to join without wanting to make a big deal out of it, then I personally see that as acceptable. I really don't know one way another about the context to know which is the case here though.

I got curious, and the best I could find was this USA Today article since it included the most details. Seems to be a he said/she said situation at least in the forced to pray part. I'll highlight the important parts from the article below.
On the school's side:
>They said they heard from players' parents who were concerned their children felt compelled by peer pressure to participate.
On the coach's side:
>He said he never asked and pressured anyone else to pray with him.
I could see it go either way unless there is more information from parent/player testimonies to tell us just how voluntary or pressured the sessions were.

I was thinking specifically in terms of gas shortages, but I'm not familiar enough with the power grid to know if and how much gas would be used in generating the electricity to know if that would be counter productive or not.

As we are in a state of an emergency with gas shortages and what not, we should require all jobs that can operate remotely stay remote. Just saying. It's for national security afterall.

I agree, but the Florida Man part is too familiar of a phrase and sounds too close to Great Again that you can't unhear it with enough popularity. Shit phase all together, but easier to parrot.
