A Florida Middle School Football coach is under fire for kneeling as his players prayed, but Kapernick and Co. are free to take the knee during the anthem…
This is ridiculous.
Watch:
Wakulla Middle School football coach Eddie Metcalf has faced criticism for kneeling alongside his team during a pregame prayer.
A video posted on Facebook Oct. 7 by Keith Whitfield, a team member’s parent, shows Metcalf taking a knee in the pregame huddle, though it’s unclear if he actually took part in the prayer led by one of his players.
According to the Wakulla County School Board, that “act of reverence” is against the law.
“That’s not allowable under the law,” Superintendent Robert Pearce told television station WCTV. “The coach may not participate in the prayer.”
The organization Freedom From Religion Foundation complained to the school board about the coach, calling his actions “unconstitutional” by promoting religion on the job.
“What we want our coaches to do — and what most people have survived with in regards to meeting the letter of the law — is to have separation from the players, two to three steps. You are allowed to have reverent respect for their prayer,” Pearce said, adding the district has held training seminars regarding prayer on the football field.

2/ Th school board came to this conclusion: "The act of reverence is against the law." Has our society come to this? https://t.co/2OjRP8aeP1

The coach was with his players during their pre-game rituals.
There isnt’ even evidence that the coach prayed with the team, he was kneeling with them.
Isn’t kneeling ok in football?
So, is it right to take the knee in protest but not in reverence?
What exactly does ‘2 or 3 steps’ from the prayer mean?
He can stand off to the side and watch them?
What about removing his hat, was that ok?
These school board officials are a bunch of Pussified wimps.
If this wasn’t a Christian prayer, perhaps an act of reverence by Muslims, would it still be reprimanded?
I’m thinking No.
ClashDaily.com’s, Editor-In-Chief, Doug Giles addresses our nation’s abysmal wussification in his NEW book …
The Effeminization Of The American Male
by Doug Giles
Doug Giles, best-selling author of Raising Righteous And Rowdy Girls and Editor-In-Chief of the mega-blog, ClashDaily.com, has just penned a book he guarantees will kick hipster males into the rarefied air of masculinity.
That is, if the man-child will put down his frappuccino; shut the hell up and listen and obey everything he instructs them to do in his timely and tornadic tome.
In The Effeminization Of The American Male, Giles takes ‘Crispin’ from the unaccomplished, prissy and dank corridors of ‘Wussville’ up the steep, treacherous and unforgiving trail that leads to ‘Mantown.’
“Secretly, everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up. That’s the kiss-ass generation we’re in right now. We’re really in a p*ssy generation.” – Clint Eastwood
This is definitely one of the most politically incorrect books to ever hit the market.
It will most certainly offend the entitled whiners, but it will also be a breath of fresh air to young males who wish to be men versus hipster dandies.
