Washington State University fired its head football coach Nick Rolovich and refused to accommodate his sincerely held religious beliefs, a lawsuit against the university argues.
SPOKANE, Washington (LifeSiteNews) — A Catholic head football coach allegedly fired for refusing to violate his conscience over taking the abortion-tainted COVID-19 jab had two high-profile supporters accompany him during a recent court date for his lawsuit.
Nick Rolovich is a devout Catholic who lost his job at Washington State University after he refused to take the abortion-tainted COVID jab; Democratic Governor Jay Inslee had mandated in 2021 that all state employees would be required to take the COVID shot.
NBA legend John Stockton and Bishop Thomas Daly of Spokane sat together in the courtroom to share their support for Rolovich’s religious freedom on May 11. Stockton is the NBA’s all-time leader in assists and played his entire career for the Utah Jazz. He was born in Spokane and played collegiate basketball at Gonzaga University, which booted him from its games due to his opposition to its mask mandate.
“Stockton said he’d reached out to Rolovich, who was fired along with four assistant coaches in October 2021, and was present to show his support for the former coach,” The Spokesman-Review reported. Daly was formerly a priest at Rolovich’s parish in California.
“When they called into question his Catholic faith early on, I wrote a letter saying I’ve known him, this is not something that he just discovered,” Daly told the newspaper. “He added that Rolovich had consulted with him as he weighed the decision whether to seek vaccination.”

When did Stockton become a legend? Do all these guys claim to be legends? The word has become overused.
Stockton is third all-time in assists and fifth all-time in steals. Couldn’t get past Jordan in the Finals, but a lot of legends had that problem. :)
Stockton was a very good player, I think he was teamed with Malone.
Good times for BBall.
Now that jabs are accepted to be potentially lethal Jay Inslee should be required to prove that he has been given every jab and booster. And if not …
I’m pretty sure legendary UCLA coach John Wooden once said the only player he would pay money to watch in the NBA was John Stockton.
Inslee needs to be rotting in a prison for the rest of his worthless life.
John Stockton was on 1992 Dream Team.
Stockton was outstanding as a player. Top 50 all time NBA player for sure.
Idiot Inslee should have to prove that he has an IQ higher than 40.
NBA's all-time assists leader. By a lot.
He is to assists what Nolan Ryan is to strike outs.
Correction: Stockton is first all time in assists, and no one else is even close.
You are right, he is first in both assists and steals. I was looking at playoff totals, not regular season.
