I'm not sure you'd call it "advertising", but there's often a note in the program saying "invocation by Pastor Whoever of Church of the Holy Whatsit." There's also a note at the bottom of the agenda saying "subject to change."Do they advertise as including religion in the Races? Do they call themselves the Christian races? If they do then you should be instructed what to do to fulfill a paid advertisement.
Personally as a race fan, I'd have more of a problem with losing a qualifying session of a support race because of the cleanup time for the car puking oil all up the back straight than I would be about some marshal not bowing his head during the prayer.
Just to be clear: I think your position is ridiculous; I just wanted to see if you're consistently ridiculous or ridiculous and hypocritical.
There was a famous event (famous in Toronto, anyway) from the World Series one year when the Blue Jays won: in one game, the US Marine colour guard displayed the Canadian flag upside down. They explained later that he did it accidentally, but it made the Canadian news as an affront to our national pride.
What recourse do you think the fans should've got for that incident? As it turns out, they got nothing, but your bizarre argument implies that they didn't receive everything they expected to be buying with their admission. So what should they habe received as compensation?
