Hilarious. Christian school sues because they can't use the PA at the state championship game to say a prayer. 11th Circuit says, well, your team sucks and won't be near a championship anytime soon, so there's no imminent harm.

But the school does
need to demonstrate that future injury is “certainly impending,” or
at the very least, that there is a “substantial risk” that the harm will
occur. See id. at 414 & n.5 (emphasis added). And given the Lan-
cers
’ past performance on the gridiron, it cannot meet that stand-
ard. All the more so because as Cambridge Christian admits, the
“competitiveness” of its football team “has waned” over the last
few seasons, and the team is now in what it calls a “rebuilding
phase” that it expects to last for a “few years.” Hope springs eternal
but standing cannot be built on hope. With all due respect to the
Cambridge Christian Fighting Lancers, there
’s nothing to suggest
that the team’s participation in a future football state championship
is imminent or even likely. See Clapper, 568 U.S. at 410 (rejecting
the plaintiffs’ “highly speculative” standing theory premised on a
“highly attenuated chain of possibilities”).
