Her appreciation of the Black women who came before and her support of those who follow are proof that wins or losses won’t dictate her legacy. The opportunities created will.
Terrific column. I was in the stands to see Peck coach that championship team. I was in the stands for numerous games between Staley’s Temple teams and the University of Rhode Island, where I helped create a Women’s Basketball Booster Club. I think young women coached by women are the luckiest!
Have you spoken to dawn, her players, others in the world of women’s basketball? Her faith also teaches her tolerance and respect for others. It’s just not true that she doesn’t accept others. She’s an extremely giving person who has accepted and done so much for so many regardless of their spiritual beliefs. Go gather some more data about her life of service from people who know her, and whose lives she’s changed.
Staley is a Christian Nationalist who demands all players feign obesience to HER religion in spite of the First Amendment to the US Constitution.
"Staley said that there is something “wrong” with those who don’t believe in God: “If you don’t believe in God, something is wrong with you. Seriously!”
Staley has also continued her practice of preparing “gameday devotional” for players and sharing these chosen bible verses on her social media pages as “Head Coach of South Carolina Women’s Basketball.” This is inappropriate for a number of reasons, including the fact that her X account is directly linked to the South Carolina Women’s Basketball account. She continues to describe each game as “Jesus versus” whoever the team’s opponent is, creating a Christian environment within the basketball program that excludes non-Christian and nonreligious players.
“The Supreme Court has continually struck down school-sponsored proselytizing in public schools,” FFRF Staff Attorney Chris Line writes to University of South Carolina President Michael Amiridis. “In all of these cases, the federal courts have struck down school prayers because it constitutes a government advancement and endorsement of religion, which violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.”

This does not alter the fact that she is violating the Constitution and demands adherence to her religious views. She is not tolerant and she demands acquiescence. America is not the land of the free only for christians. The First Amendment protects equality for all. I do not wish to be burned at the stake because I do not believe in her god.
