Sports Illustrated has been taking a beating on social media after it criticized a Supreme Court case centered on religious freedom.
As Breitbart News profiled, Sports Illustrated waded into political waters on Monday with an article by Greg Bishop bashing the Supreme Court case centered on Bremerton High School assistant coach Joe Kennedy, who was sanctioned by his school district in 2015 for praying on the field with his players. Tellingly, Bishop argued that Kennedy’s potential win in court could be an “erosion” of American democracy.
“This Sports Illustrated article is little else but a long smear against Christians, conservatives, and white people in general, and coach Kennedy in particular, and on a vicious personal level, at that,” Breitbart News noted.
Conservatives and religious freedom activists took to social media to lambaste Sports Illustrated for such a disgraceful display of left-wing bias.

The most baffling part is when Sports Illustrated attempts to make this story about white nationalists (??)…
Sports media is at least as Leftist as the media in general. Sports Illustrated and ESPN are right there with MSNBC.

A reminder that SI now defends coaches who take a knee to protest America, but castigate coaches who take a knee to pray.
Well said!
I forget who said it. Might have been Charlie Kerk:
Sports Illustrated is a left wing magazine that sometimes writes about sports.
I wonder what Bobby Bowden would think? In one of his last interviews he said no one would stop him from having prayer with the team. Many in his generation did this, or just flat out ignored the “rules” when it came to prayer in public schools. Odd, you didn’t see any players protesting they were offended or their right to act like a jack ass was being infringed on.
SI pisses me off.
In a pure democracy if 51% vote for it, instead of a little prayer before a game you could get a state religion. Then you better show up at church Sunday morning or be subject to arrest. Be careful what you ask for, SI, or you may get that democracy.
Appealing to godless homosexuals and perverts to drive their circulation. Next headline - “The Jaguars - two tight ends and they suck!”
“Dang! We just cancelled ourselves!”
Arf!
I think it’s great when I see and hear athletes giving glory to God for their accomplishments and abilities, especially while they are being interviewed on tv.
How ironic that someone so intolerant and lacking in empathy for those of different views would have the surname of Bishop.
SI went far left social justice warrior back around 1980. That’s when I let my subscription lapse. I switched to The Sporting News, but they went far left SJW in the mid-90s.
The internet rendered them obsolete anyway.
I guess in the end, all you can do is pray for these Godless pieces of excrement.
Who’s representing coach Kennedy?
As a yout, I was obsessed with sports. I’m glad all this demonic crap didn’t happen till now. Because I sure enjoyed it back in the day.
SI thinks a dudes in bikinis are women. The only kneeling SI supports is protesting America kneeling and homosexual kneeling.
SI has long been like the loved family dog who has contracted rabies and needs to be put down. This org is demon/commie possessed.
Not a single conservative Christian in that group.
