College Soccer Star Refused to Kneel for BLM Wins $100,000 Settlement Against Abusive Male Coach

A former Virginia Tech women’s soccer team member who alleged that her coach benched her because she would not bow down and take a knee in support of Black Lives Matter has won a $100,000 settlement.

Kiersten Hening has agreed to take the settlement to bow out of her lawsuit against the school and coach Charles “Chugger” Adair, whom she sued on First Amendment grounds, according to Fox News.

The three-day trial was set to begin this month but was canceled as Hening, and her attorney worked with the school.

Coach Adair posted a message on Twitter to tell supporters, “I am pleased the case against me has been closed, and I am free to move forward clear of any wrongdoing.” “It’s unfortunate, but this ordeal was about a disappointment and disagreement about playing time. Today, we have clarity that this case lacked any standing, and without evidence, the truth has prevailed.”

Tellingly, Adair did not mention the fact that Hening received $100,000 to make the case go away. The omission of the settlement spurred Hening’s attorney to scoff at the coach’s proclamations of innocence.

Her attorney also stated , If by clarity you mean you are paying my client six figures in a settlement then you’re right that’s pretty clear. Honestly, Coach, read the Court’s opinion. You are paying. Defendants don’t pay in cases that have no standing. Attorney Adam Mortara also noted that the school’s “innocence” caused them to pay Hening the “equivalent of several years of tuition.”
