- Rolovich lawyer calls coach’s firing ‘unjust and unlawful’
- Washington requires all state employees to be vaccinated
- 42-year-old had sought religious exemption from vaccine
Former Washington State coach Nick Rolovich’s termination for refusing to get a Covid-19 vaccination was unlawful and an attack on his Catholic faith, his attorney said Wednesday.
Attorney Brian Fahling also said in a statement that Rolovich intends to take legal action and that the litigation will detail what the attorney called athletic director Pat Chun’s “animus towards Coach Rolovich’s sincerely held religious beliefs” and his dishonesty at the expense of the former coach.
