Actually, I heard he called them niggardly because of their lack of discipline.

[Huebolt]

And then cancel the basketball program and save the tax-payers money being wasted on a band of emotionally and mentally fragile ingrates

EXACTLY! ! !

That and football are a total waste, a distraction, and building blocks for contempt of academic excellence.

The big man on campus has the lowest IQ on campus.

So much for winning being the best deodorant.

“He said if I don’t get my grades up, I’m gonna be living back down on Superior. I thought it was a racist comment because if I was white, he wouldn’t have said nothing like that,” added Early.

Coach Accused of Racism When Telling Basic Truth

[milford421]

Coach told his BASKETBALL PLAYERS to play BASKETBALL.

Yeah, totally racist. (sarc)

[cweese]

Then it’s quite odd that the title of the article refers to ‘racist comments’ but none are found in the body of the article.

Richmond Heights fans, I think it would be a good thing if many of you would attend future games and exercise your freedom of speech. This crap is growing old.

[milford421]

It sure is....

[MrB]

“everybody ... are”???

[Rightwingacademic]

I assumed it was “ghetto” basketball. That would get him in trouble. Big time.

[The Comedian]

Was the coach black, and used the word "cracker"?

No information in the stupid story.

Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

[cweese]

Ah, didn’t think of that one either. However, is ‘ghetto’ considered an expletive?

[greatdefender]

I found in other sources that he used the N-word and other PC terms/phases. Despite all that, the team is undefeated? This kind thing kind makes you wonder what the team are complaining about. In addition, why did it took long to filed the compliant in the first place?

[Mr. Bird]

There is some kind of delicious irony here. The coach presumably used a word (I'm thinking the "N" word) to describe a higher form of play. This ostensible elevation of word previously understood as a slur has now landed the coach in hot water.

However, if the coach did in fact use that word, he may not be racist, but he is certainly an idiot.

[adgirl]

Ghetto basketball is what I thought as well. And doesn’t that mean basically that you just run out and score—without thinking about setting up plays? The reason I say this is because my son plays on an inner city team and when he is a point guard (I know virtually nothing about basketball) he sets up plays. When another guy is point guard (I know there are two) they other guy just tries to score all the time. We call it ghetto ball. We are a mostly white team and all the point guards are white. I just go out and cheer.

[IronJack]

It is if you substitute “n__ger” for “ghetto”.

[dangus]

I hope I’m wrong, but I think the word was “ghetto.”

[N. Theknow]

“everybody ... are”???

Yes. They is.

[zeugma]

They could just disband the team and focus on reading, writing, arithmetic, and the hard sciences.
