Would you like to use school prayer for example. Why does the gov't get involved when students choose to pray at a football game or during school?

You oversimplify the issue. If students choose to pray on their own, or lead a prayer on their own, that is perfectly acceptable. But when teachers or coaches, who are government employees, lead the prayer, it amounts to an implicit endorsement of religion by the state, which is unacceptable.
And generally it is not the government which interferes, it often the ACLU.
