This headline is over-stated, but not too far off the mark. OHIO: Nazi Football Coach Forces Kosher Observant Teen to Eat Pork as Punishment - Geller Report News
Can you really be a college graduate and be so ignorant that you don't know what Kosher means? Apparently.
Head coach Marcus Wattley made the teen sit in the middle of the gym and eat the whole pizza. If he didn’t, his surrounding teammates would have to run extra drills. Wattley also threatened to kick the teen off the team.
7 of 8 coaches were suspended, including the head coach, though later the district announced that they were no longer employees. That announcement only came after the family threatened legal action.
The boy’s family said Wattley’s actions were a, “violation of the constitutional rights of this child,” and are threatening legal action.
“The family does not feel that this suspension is adequate. The school has not offered any counseling for the child. The child is devastated due to consuming the pork grease pizza and being degraded in front of the entire team,” the attorney said in a news release on Tuesday
Personally I don't think the coach was that ignorant. I think the coach - the whole coaching staff - was that antisemitic. And what have they been doing to players whose families didn't threaten to sue? This is what bullies do.
