Carl Silverman, a Pennsylvania Atheist and First Amendment rights activists, says that the Hagerstown Suns baseball organization is doing just that by offering discounts to families which bring a copy of a local church bulletin to the stadium on specific nights. Some may argue that even if the practice is technically legal, it is morally wrong -- or just bad business. Others would claim that since the Hagerstown Suns team is a private organization - and that no one is forced or compelled to attend their games -- team management is within its rights in offering discounts to any groups it chooses to, even if it excludes others.
