Supreme Court to Hear Case of Fired Football Coach Who Prayed at 50-Yard-Line

[Franklin Pierce]

High school football coach Joe Kennedy lost his job when he refused to stop praying on the 50-yard line after games.

Now the U.S. Supreme Court will hear Kennedy v. Bremerton School District.

The development comes years after Kennedy last knelt for a 30-second silent prayer on the football field at Bremerton High School in Washington state.

Newsweek wrote a feature on Kennedy that reports, ironically, it is other so-called religious groups that pushed back on the Christian’s First Amendment free exercise of his faith:

Of course. The horror of someone taking a knee and saying some prayers. As the world keeps pushing God out, the worse things get.

I bet if he took a knee to protest "social injustice" at the end of every game he would still have his job.

With children being slaughtered around the world maybe God isn't doing much anyways. But I did hear he saved a little girl in Minnesota because her mom's post got 1000 likes

But the leftist filth say we’re making progress in the post-Christian world.

Dumb post is dumb

If you are a believer it is all past, present, and future.

The trend is growing

This country started crumbling when God was removed from the schools.

Are you a Atheist?

Post Christian? Christianity is still the world's biggest religion by far.

Ah the old blame God for the horrors right? So all the good in the world, God gets credit for right?

But progressives call that “progress.”

Don’t bring your bibles into this thread, they’re liable to get thumped.

An interesting question. Does this cross the threshold?

He could obviously pray in his van after the game and others could join.

Some obviously don’t think he should be able to pray on the field after the game. What about the parking lot?

And I'd say we're doing better. In the history of this country, as "God has been pushed out" we have had far less death in wars. We have freed slaves. We've given women equal rights. We given minorities equal rights. Scientific advances have extended our life expectancy. etc etc etc. If one looks at the most religious countries on earth, they are generally backwards "sh!tholes."

The problem is that you guys only want to give credit to his glory. Take the good with the bad.

Not one of your best.

No, it was the adoption of the 17th amendment.

I haven’t read anything but the headline and the OPs post but I’m assuming his employer told him not to do it and he did it anyway? If that’s the case what grounds does he have to sue?

No, neither appear to be true. People should quit acting like God gives a damn
