The First Amendment states:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Please tell me, what part of the First Amendment don't you understand. Perhaps I or someone else could clarify it for you.
By the way, believing in Santa Claus is not a religion, and neither is going around for trick or treat during Holloween. Please grow up.

Re: Agreeing with Holmes
Oops, I am guilty of replying too fast and not payed extra attention to the details.
I do agree that since the football game is a private venture the owners could do whatever they want, in short of having the audience members shot.
I apologize for any misunderstanding.
