Less than 48 hours after his dismissal as the head coach of the Washington State Cougars’ for failure to comply with the state’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate, Nick Rolovich’s attorney announced his intention to sue his former employer.
Brian Fahling, Rolovich’s attorney, said in a release to several national media members that the “discriminatory and vindictive behavior” athletic director Pat Chun displayed to Rolovich and his family did them immeasurable harm. For the first time through the release, we learned Rolovich is a “devout Catholic”, though his attorney did not expand on his exact reasoning behind refusing the vaccine besides that faith.
