The firing of a University of Georgia cheerleading coach, after she allegedly used religious criteria to keep a Jewish cheerleader off the premier cheer squad, has focused attention on the promotion of religion in team sports from high school to professional teams, reports The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Michelle Hiskey. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which is involved in the cheerleading controversy at U.G., employs two chaplains and an intern to work with teams at the school, though they say no one is pressured to take part in Christian activities.
