The argument against allowing him to pray at midfield is that players might feel pressured to join, which means he is imposing his religious beliefs in his capacity as a school employee. From everything I have read the players who joined him did not feel pressured and as such he should be allowed to do it. But lets be clear he was trying to make this an issue, as he could have stood off on the sidelines and quitely said his prayers. But he wanted attention hence his decision to go midfield, kneel and pray.
In this case SCOTUS probably made the right decision however it opens the door for more public school employees to bring religion into the schools. Where is the line drawn? Does this case set precedence?
My kids went to Catholic school, prayed after games and I am all in favor of it (at a Catholic school). I think this is dangerous precedent they set with this ruling.
