Remember way back in 2020 when it seemed like the entire world went absolutely crazy after St. George Floyd died?
The woke rage was so insane that people expected athletes to kneel during the national anthem in honor of the BLM narrative that says America is a systemically racist country founded by evil men and women who built their legacy on oppression.
At Virginia Tech, women's soccer coach Charles Adair was apparently so filled with woke rage that he benched player Kiersten Hening for showing loyalty to her country over the neo-Marxist, anti-American cause.
A former Virginia Tech women's soccer player who accused her coach of benching her because of her political opinions will reportedly receive at least $100,000 as part of an agreement to dismiss a federal lawsuit.
Kiersten Hening will receive the award as part of a settlement in the lawsuit she filed in 2021 against head coach Charles "Chugger" Adair on First Amendment grounds, her attorney Cameron Norris said last week, according to the Roanoke Times.
Norris noted the terms of the settlement did not include an admission of wrongdoing by either his client or Adair.
Hening will receive $100,000 because of this lawsuit.
Say it with me!
Hening, who was a midfielder/defender for the Hokies from 2018 to 2020, sued Adair in his personal and official capacity as coach, alleging he punished her for her political views, which often differed from her teammates during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020.
Hening claimed she was removed from her starting position and pressured to leave the team after she declined to kneel during a reading of a "unity statement" before a game against UVA on Sept. 12, 2020. She said Adair "verbally attacked her" at halftime, claiming she was "b--tching and moaning" while putting his finger in her face.
Hening explained in the lawsuit that while she "supports social justice and believes that black lives matter," she "does not support BLM the organization," citing its "tactics and core tenets of its mission statement, including defunding the police."
Adair continued to berate Hening until he benched her and ultimately made things so intolerable that she felt she had no choice but to quit the team, according to the suit.
Hening disagreed with BLM's tactics (you know, rioting and looting) as well as their mission (destroying the nuclear family and stoking class warfare). That means she had to be absolutely destroyed for wrongthink.
Coach Adair is still maintaining that he did nothing wrong.
$100,000 is a lot of money to pay for "no wrongdoing."
One of Hening's lawyers had this to say to Adair's statement:
With a few more of these cases, our super-woke, anti-American universities will be so afraid of losing money in court that they might actually be scared into respecting free speech and civil liberties again.
