An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches.
The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights.
The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t.

“Hebrew Israelite religious faith” -— I believe that is a wacky, hateful black cult.
This Coach would try and force Jesus Christ to eat non kosher food.
What an asswhole
Sounds like another “Clock Boy” hoping for a big payday.
“…millions of dollars in damages…”? I think not.
A heartfelt apology, maybe.
Amazing what passes for national news these days.
How exactly does a coach ‘force’ someone to eat? Gunpoint? Open their piehole and shove it in?
So, I’m not saying this didn’t happen.
And I’m not saying that the world has no idiots dumb enough to actually create this situation.
But, it’s 2022. We’re in the midst of a Woke epidemic.
If some idiot says, “Hey, kid! Eat this pepperoni pizza or else!! You want to be on the team, don’t you??” then how much genuine pressure does that put on someone?
Basic response: “I’m Jewish. Pepperoni is a forbidden food. If you try to make me do that, I will sue the ever-living crap out of you and out of this school. So knock it off.”
Why couldn’t the kid “diffuse” the situation that way?
But again: If the kid tried to make it clear, and some idiot insisted on being an idiot, then I guess the kid is going to be very rich.
But I don’t know why that stuff happens in 2022.
This was back in the 1970s.
I have since recovered.

In the past I had heard that there was a Black Hebrew Israelites, and was hoping that the Hebrew Israelites were a different group. Sadly, I currently stand with hope in one hand, and something steamy, nutty, and rather stinky in the other. *Sigh*
No-one has the right to make any-one eat any-thing for any-reason ... period!
Same for anything else that goes in your body ... like the jab!
but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout...

This doesn’t pass the sniff test. Since when would eating pizza be considered a punishment?
“English muffins, Hunts tomato sauce and Kraft shredded cheese.”
My sister (the other mom), would watch us periodically.
White bread, ketchup, American cheese slice. She called it “ghetto pizza” it wasn’t too bad. Weĺl, okay... but we was starvin’
could have been that turkey pepperoni?
or that vegan plant based crap.... just saying
His position on the team was more important than his religion.
George was in the pool....
I bet that coach can’t have a Bible on his desk nor can the team say a prayer on the field before a game or practice but this kid wants million$ for pepperoni grease.
He will get nothing. Nobody has any fear that he or anybody acting on his behalf will blow up anything
