When I played football as a youth, we always said a(n) Hail Mary before
we went on the field. It didn't matter what faith you were; the
Hail Mary was it. I used to think that one the the coaches should of
exhorted us onto the field with "OK, Boys Let's slaughter them for Our
Lady!"

Nice. Back at my Mennonite high school we had a similar cheer for our
soccer team, the Bethany Braves. (We didn't do football, of course.)
Much cruder than the polished Quaker version, which is generally true
for things Mennonite versus Quaker:
"Rock em, sock em,
Goooooo Braves!
Beat their heads in,
But in a Christian manner,
Rip their guts out,
In a nonviolent way."
