A high school football coach in Washington state who won his job back after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled he could pray on the field resigned Wednesday after just one game back.
Kennedy was not immediately available for comment Wednesday. His publicist, Jennifer Willingham, told The Associated Press he was on a plane back to Florida. He insisted on praying publicly at midfield after games, and the district placed him on leave and declined to renew his contract. “That Kennedy doesn’t want to coach at Bremerton School District isn’t a surprise,” said Rachel Laser, the group's chief executive. “It’s just one more example of why the Supreme Court should not have taken this case in the first place.”Kennedy was back on the sideline for the first time in nearly eight years last Friday night, but he said beforehand that he had mixed feelings about it and wasn't sure he'd keep coaching.
