The player should be asked which do you decribe yourself as:

1. American

2. African American

3. Black American

4. Other, provide the term.

If the player used African American it seems like a valid point they should embrace their roots.

Hey now.

I hear Wakanda’s nice this time of year.

I watched a game Sunday which never had more than 3 white players on the field at any time.

They should sue for equal representation.

Why the law suit? Can people no longer say what they think?

[odawg]

What if those comments were actually said?

No other crude comments are actionable in court, so why would these be?

This racism thing, and offended feelings has got to stop.

I have received much worse on this site, and probably given even worse. With me, it is like pouring water on a duck.

No comment.

“If the Black players don’t like it here, they should go back to Africa and see how bad it is.”

How is that racist?
Under what definition of "racism" does that statement fit?

It's not wrong. It's not mean. It's not derogatory. I really don't see the problem.

Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan said this about another sport——basketball. “In college they just want one things. Put that basketball through that hoop.”
Headline:
Louis Farrakhan compares sports stars to slaves and basketball courts to plantations.
Louis Farrakhan said ‘basketball courts are a training ground for a basketball plantation’ during a speech on Sunday
He then added that spectators watching people play sports are just like men sizing up slaves.

Trotter sounds like just another racist Black with a chip on his shoulder who wants to make trouble. Also sounds like a small man if that statement (if true) causes such a problem for him.

Oh, the horror…

I’m not giving MSN.com any hits, so just reading the excerpt here, how does this guy have any standing to sue? The remarks weren’t directed at him.
And any verification of his claims? Don’t reporters record their interviews?

Pay players in a basket of African currencies if they are so un American but only based on the exchange rates at the beginning of the year. Why is anyone still watching bud light fooseball

[mmichaels1970]

Highly doubt this is going to turn into a “bombshell”. Man, everything’s “breaking” or a “bombshell” these days.

[Ex-Con777]

I’ve been to Africa. I highly doubt more than a handful of these privileged millionaires have been there. They should try it.....or are they being racist?

“If the Black players don’t like it here, they should go back to Africa and see how bad it is.”

Is there a GoFundMe account setup so we Americans can help them with one way airfare back to the homeyland
