In Santa Fe District v. Doe, the court ruled that student led prayer at a school football game failed the lemon test because it was "too entangled". This means that the court thought the games were too closely related to school activity. In this way, the football match could not be considered a private activity, but public because it was encouraged by the school. Similarly, the speech emanating from this event would be public, and being directly encouraged by the school, would violate the Establishment Clause, by linking directly to an entity of the government of the United States (the school) with religious issues.
