Praying football coach asking Supreme Court for his job back

[BidenPresident]

SEATTLE (AP) — The clock ran down at the end of the homecoming game and spectators stormed the football field, knocking over members of the high school band — all to gather around an assistant coach as he took a knee in prayer, surrounded by uniformed players.
Six years later, after losing his coaching job and repeatedly losing in court, that former Washington state coach, Joe Kennedy, will take his arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday, saying the Bremerton School District violated his First Amendment rights by refusing to let him continue praying at midfield immediately after games. Four conservative justices have already expressed concerns with how his case has been handled

Lawyers for the school district say officials had no problem letting Kennedy pray separately from students or letting him return to the field to pray after the students left. But allowing him to pray at midfield immediately after games with students there risked being seen as government endorsement of religion.

On one hand this seems a stupid reason to lose your job and seems pretty innocent but otoh he did it at midfield specifically to provoke this fight so he loses sympathy points with me for that. We'll see how it works out.

Bobby Bowden used to always pray with the team. It isn't the same since he left.

Lest you forgot?

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color."
Of course, that is a lie, we don't "oppress" black people. They have the same opportunity as he had, they were just better players.

That's a great picture, too bad the meme maker fucked it up.

That dude's part Korean, too. God bless him!
