Joe Kennedy, the Bremerton High School football coach, has a lot to be thankful for. After being away from the team for two years, Kennedy returned to the sidelines and led the team to a big win. After the game, Kennedy took a moment to thank God for the victory.
Kennedy was removed from his coaching position in 2015 after he refused to stop praying on the field after games. He was told that his public displays of faith were in violation of the U.S. Constitution. Kennedy was determined to fight for his right to pray, and he eventually took his case all the way to the Supreme Court.
In June of 2020, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Kennedy, allowing him to continue his practice of praying on the field after games. This ruling was seen as a victory for religious freedom and a reminder that the First Amendment still stands strong.
After the ruling, Kennedy was welcomed back to Bremerton High School with open arms. He was determined to make a difference and help the team succeed. On Friday night, his hard work paid off as the team won their first game since Kennedy’s return.
After the game, Kennedy took a moment to thank God for the victory. He knelt on the field and prayed, thanking God for the opportunity to coach again and for the team’s success. His prayer was met with cheers from the crowd, who were inspired by his faith and determination.
Joe Kennedy’s story is an inspiring one. He fought for his right to pray and won, and now he’s back on the sidelines leading his team to victory. His story is a reminder that religious freedom is alive and well in America, and that we should all be thankful for it.
