Kiersten Hening played as a midfielder and defender for Virginia Tech Hokies between 2018-20. The player said in her lawsuit that she played for the most minutes on the team. The player refused to take a knee before a game as a demonstration.
”The team was demonstrating for the Black Lives Matter movement and urged the players to kneel while reading the statement of unity. Unlike her teammates, Kiersten Hening kept standing during the pregame demonstratio…The player accused coach Charles Adair of benching her and creating an environment that forced her to quit the team.
The federal Judge on December 2, 2022, ruled that the lawsuit can go to trial. “Hening, who had been a major on-field contributor for two years prior to the 2020 season, also asserts that Adair removed her from the starting lineup for the next two games and drastically reduced her playing time in those games because she had engaged in this protected First Amendment activity. As a result, Hening resigned from the team after the third game of the season,” a federal judge noted.“
Hell yeah. Stick the university with the bill for fostering an environment with this pathetic virtue signaling horsesh*t. Kudos to this young lady for having a mind of her own.

Indeed. If she were refusing to engage in the after-game prayer, or was the only one who wanted to kneel during the anthem, she would be applauded by the left. Probably there would be an Amazon documentary about her already.
She started 37 games in her first two years and scored no goals and had 1 shot on goal in the 41 games she played.
in her third year she started opener which team lost to uva 3-1. Maybe coach decided to give another player with more offensive upside a chance? She didn’t live uP to what she did in high school. This happens all the time. Big fish in little pond struggles as little fish In big pond.

It seems a strange time to put her on the bench, coinciding with her refusal to tow the party line and cow-tow before BLM.
Not sure what to tell you. The judge saw enough indicating she was deliberately retaliated against for not sharing the team’s political views, that he’s allowing the case to move forward.

If her allegations are true, and that's a big IF, this has to be the greatest example of how demented and dangerous woke liberalism can become. It's absolutely fvcking outrageous if true.
I hope it isn't true at all. I hope the plaintiff/accuser is some paranoid type who is drawing crazy conclusions and/or just looking for a large litigation settlement.

Coach Adair was probably one who was celebrating Colin Kaepernick's right to kneel in protest during the national anthem and did just the opposite with this young lady. Conform or else.

She plays defense. It's not her job to score.
You'd probably bench your place kicker for not getting enough sacks...

You’re right it would be better if it weren’t true. It sounds like our culture, I’m afraid. But we’ll see what the trial brings to light.

LOL. Takes the time to research her stats but doesn't take the time to research the role her position plays on the pitch.
And your "big fish in a little pond" types get weeded out in year one, not after playing more minutes than anyone else on the team for two years.
