Seven Ohio Football Coaches Fired After Forcing Jewish Player to Eat Pork
AP 4 Jun 2021
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — The head football coach at an Ohio high school and six other coaches there have been ousted after a football player said he was forced him to eat pork in violation of his religious beliefs for missing a voluntary workout.
The Canton City Board of Education voted unanimously Thursday to not renew the coaching contracts of Canton McKinley head football coach Marcus Wattley, two of his assistants and an assistant baseball coach, The Canton Repository reported. With the same vote, the board also deemed three other assistant football coaches as ineligible for future coaching positions.
The district had suspended the coaches last week after the 17-year-old player reported what happened to him on May 24. Another coach was also suspended but he will remain as an assistant coach because the evidence did not show that he performed in the same manner as the other coaches, officials said.
A lawyer for the teen player’s family has announced plans to sue the school district. The player and his family are members of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith and do not eat pork.
District Superintendent Jeff Talbert said surveillance video gave administrators the information they needed to warrant their recommendations to the board. However, he declined to provide details of what happened and said the video would not be publicly released due to federal student privacy regulations.
Peter Pattakos, an attorney retained by Wattley, said details of the events were exaggerated and parts are false. His statements were supported by five football players who attended the school board meeting in support of the eight coaches.

Good grief. What the heck is wrong with people? I hope this is somehow a distortion but I suspect there is a lot of truth to the report.

That's right. It's a textbook example of White Supremacy.

I'd settle for Gefilte.

I met a lot of Black people in my life who do not eat pork, for one reason or another.
I have never met a Black person who would eat white bread with mayonnaise.
If you want to gross these guys out, make them eat that.

This story sickens me. I have to wonder why the county prosecutor hasn't filed hate crime charges against these men. Clearly, they targeted this boy because of his religion.

Or spotted dick.

Canton McKinley is a traditional powerhouse. The fired coaches, I'm sorry to say, probably will be snatched up by other area schools. If I were interviewing any of them, I'd ask how their actions in this case actually benefited the team, let alone taught the boys valuable life lessons.

IF that player is a devout,seriously religious practicing Jew,firing them ain't enough. They need to be sued into poverty in order to serve as an example.
BTW,I am probably THE least religious person on this board,but I DO recognize Judaism as a legitimate religion,and people in this formerly free country have a Constitutional RIGHT to be allowed to practice their religions beliefs as long as they are causing no harm to anyone else.
ANY government that can tell them they can't do this,also has the power to tell me I MUST follow some religious tenets.
BTW,NONE of this applies to Islam,which is a death cult,not a religion.

Well, this certainly is a wtf moment.
Ohio Coaches Sued For Allegedly Forcing Player To Eat Pork Against His Religious Beliefs File Defamation Suit
July 14, 2021 at 2:35 am
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Six Ohio high school football coaches who were fired when a father complained his son was forced to eat a pork-based pepperoni pizza in violation of his religious beliefs have sued the parent, his attorney, school officials, and others for defamation.
The plaintiffs are former Canton McKinley head coach Marcus Wattley and five assistants, according to The Canton Repository.
The lawsuit filed Monday in Stark County said the player chose to remove pepperoni and cheese and eat the pizza instead of chicken nuggets when disciplined on May 24 for off-the-field behavior. Teammates ran laps for 20 minutes while carrying 45-pound (20-kilogram) weights as the teen sat in the middle of the gym and ate the pizza.
The coaches were unaware at the time that eating pork violated the player’s Hebrew Israelite religious beliefs, the complaint said. ...

Interesting phrase, "Hebrew Israelite." Sounds like this kid wasn't really Jewish. Turns out he isn't:Black Hebrew Israelites (also called Hebrew Israelites, Black Hebrews, Black Israelites, and African Hebrew Israelites) are groups of African Americans who believe that they are the descendants of the ancient Israelites. To varying degrees, Black Hebrew Israelites incorporate certain aspects of the religious beliefs and practices of both Christianity and Judaism, though they have created their own interpretation of the Bible. Many choose to identify as Hebrew Israelites or Black Hebrews rather than Jews in order to indicate their claimed historic connections.
Black Hebrew Israelites are not associated with the mainstream Jewish community, and they do not meet the standards that are used to identify people as Jewish by the Jewish community. ...

Now we know what all the fuss was really all about. A pay day.

The coaches deserve to terminated if not prosecuted.
Freedom of Religion is a founding principle of America.
BTW, how does forcing someone to violate a tenent of faith help a team win games?

Try reading @mountaineer's Reply, a few posts upthread from this. I think the coaching staff is suing because they have evidence this whining little baby eats pork.

It reminds me of that brat who tore a Radio Shack clock apart and reassembled it to look like a bomb.
