COURT: Kneeling at a Football Game to Pray is Illegal July 23, 2021, 06:51:39 PM While professional athletes are kneeling in protest for Black Lives Matter, a high school football coach is not allowed to kneel in prayer, according to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.Coach Joe Kennedy, a Marine veteran being represented by First Liberty Institute, will file another appeal to the Supreme Court after a Court of Appeals panel declined to re-hear his case Monday, leaving a previous ruling in place, which stated the Bremerton School District did not violate his religious and free speech rights when they told him not to pray on the football field.https://www.toddstarnes.com/faith/court-kneeling-at-a-football-game-to-pray-is-illegal/
