The University of Florida has rescinded a football scholarship offer to a high school prospect for using the n-word while rapping along with a song.

Standout quarterback Marcus Stokes, of Nease High School in Ponte Vedra Beach, posted a video of himself mimicking the lyric as he rode in a car.

“Welcome back, n—-,” he can be heard saying in the since-deleted two-second clip.

“I was in my car listening to rap music, rapping along to the words and posted video of it to social media,” Stokes wrote in a statement Sunday. “I deeply apologize for the words in the song which I chose to say.”

Never apologize. He should have turned the argument around on the writer of the song.

Well, yes the school did have a choice. They should have condemned the song....not the kid.

They only did this to him because he is white

I would file a lawsuit for racial discrimination and make them pay while going to a different school and beating then on the field

Let me know when this happen to a black player ….never

This echoes the Bolshevik/Communist rule in Soviet Russia where the uttering of a forbidden word had drastic consequences.

How godlike can a person be? I’ll say one word, and a whole race of people crumble to the ground screaming.

No. Libs are just afraid to tell them that they can’t use that word.

N-word=nigger, nigga, nigglet
C-word=cUnT
R-word=Retard, Retarded

True they could have done that and created a backlash on the existing team, recruits and students that could have very easily crippled the program for a number of years.

Missouri had a similar situation a few years ago, cost the President of the University his job, eventually the head coach got fired, quite a few players transferred and the program went from a top15 team in the country to a team that is consistently losing, not to mention millions in lost revenue when boosters quit giving money.

They had a choice as well and went the opposite direction and still haven’t fully recovered

Unfortunately the kid is going to have a hard time finding a team at a Division 1 level
