Teen sues coaches who made him eat pepperoni pizza

An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his Jewish beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches, The Associated Press reported on Monday.

The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights, according to the report. The incident was first made public this past June.
