High school football coach scores big win at Supreme Court over post-game prayer

Earl said:
According to NBC News, Kennedy now lives in Florida but has previously stated that he would return to Bremerton to seek his job back if the Supreme Court ruled in his favor.

He will get his coaching job back and lots of money when he sues the school board.

He was an assistant coach, and will not get his job back.

You have no idea what a hail Mary is.
It is used at the end of a game/half in desperation.

You know...like praying

Explain how a screen pass is related to a last ditch effort to complete a long pass?

They are both football plays, you fucking pinheaded numbskull! A-Durrr!

Are you sure you didn't go to a religious school?

You know, one with a name like "Academy of the Holy Fuck Stupid"?

So are a number of running plays you drunk.

Why would you include any of them in a discussion about naming one specific last ditch effort in any game?

You must've passed Reading Comprehension with a "D" at The Academy of the Holy Fuck Stupid.

Althea said:
Are you in the wrong thread?

Or just drunk again?

Only one has a religious reference. Why didn't you reference a quick out, or a draw play, or a play action pass? What's the difference between a post play, and a hail Mary?

You still haven't made your case.

What's the difference between a post play, and a hail Mary?

I'll give you time to Google because you don't understand the former term.

So...this ASSISTANT coach did no apply for his job after his contract was up. He didn't like being challenged on his prayer. This, despite complaints by some players that they were being pressured to engage in prayer.
He then opted to sue.
He lost in lower court cases, and the SC in '19 refused to hear the case.

Miraculously, this court decided to do God's work.

SCOTUS has been corrupted with activist judges. They decide which cases to hear and which to leave behind. Thomas is leading the pack if RW activist justices with his statement about perusing all the Evangelical hot topics besides abortion: gay marriage and contraception.

FWIW, I prefer a balanced court with a conservative Chief Justice. I prefer justices who rule based on law, not religious or political ideology. SCOTUS favorability has already sunk because of their bias. I expect it will sink as low as Congress by 2024.

he Supreme Court handed a big win to a former Washington high school football coach who lost his job over reciting a prayer on the 50-yard line after games.

At issue was whether a public school employee praying alone but in view of students was engaging in unprotected "government speech," and if it is not government speech, does it still pose a problem under the First Amendment's Establishment Clause.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that the answer to both questions is no.

"Here, a government entity sought to punish an individual for engaging in a brief, quiet, personal religious observance doubly protected by the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment. And the only meaningful justification the government offered for its reprisal rested on a mistaken view that it had a duty to ferret out and suppress," Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the Court's opinion. "Religious observances even as it allows comparable secular speech. The Constitution neither mandates nor tolerates that kind of discrimination."

Only a moron who doesn't even understand religion thinks Jesus helped his team win a football game.

That is actually highly disrespectful of religion in general, and Christianity in particular. It's hubris to think your team has divine favor, and hubris is not an authentic Christian value.

On the other hand, if Fox is reporting this fairly and accurately, someone who is privately praying and not leading or coercing other students and staff into prayers is not an actionable first amendment issue.
