The day of the ruling, Fox News host Sean Hannity expressed doubts the district would follow through. But one of Kennedy’s lawyers clarified that they had no choice: “We’re ready to have that fight. If they want to defy the Supreme Court, I think they’re gonna realize they made a serious mistake.”
Kennedy was sunnier about it all.
“As soon as the school district says ‘Hey, come back,’ I am there, first flight,” he said.
So the school district has been flummoxed about what’s happened since. They complied by offering to reinstate him, they say, and now the football season is in full swing. But Kennedy is nowhere near the sidelines.
“He’s had the paperwork for his reinstatement since August 8th, and we haven’t gotten so much as a phone call,” says Karen Bevers, spokesperson for Bremerton schools.
Instead, as the Bremerton Knights were prepping for the season in August, Kennedy was up in Alaska, meeting with former Vice President Mike Pence and evangelist Franklin Graham. On the eve of the first game, which the Knights won, Kennedy was in Milwaukee being presented with an engraved .22-caliber rifle at an American Legion convention.

Others booked up his dance card. He's busy.
Fuck off.
Your embarrassment is understandable.
Coach Kennedy prays that this Court enter Judgment: . . .
4. Ordering BSD to reinstate Coach Kennedy to his previous positions as assistant
coach of the BHS varsity football team and head coach of the BHS junior varsity
football team;
5. Ordering BSD to provide Coach Kennedy with a religious accommodation that
allows him to offer a brief, quiet prayer at the 50-yard line at the conclusion of
BHS football games;
Doesn't really want the only tangible relief sought. Think that's going to come up if his attorneys seek an award of fees?
Fuck off.
Dumb mick outsmarts dumb micks on the SC . . . and PT.
I did notice that the coach is prominently featured on the website of First Liberty Institute – the Christian legal organization which represented him – on a page that includes a donation button.
So maybe at least somebody came out ahead.
