Ashton Brooks, a senior placekicker for the Dow football team in Midland, Michigan, is the number one kicker in her conference. She has also received a partial college scholarship to Northwood University for her skills in soccer as well as a partial academic scholarship. She also has a great singing voice and is on the Dow basketball team.

Who cares.
Thanks, Ben! Glad you’re keeping us up to date on Shaun King’s opinions.

Ashton Brooks = impressive.
Rude little white gal = lucky she’s not MY daughter.
“Local problem”
That’s pretty funny.
Which half is the white half; the one that plays football or the one that the whites think is a gorilla?
You’re welcome, sir. Truth is a good thing.
I'm nearly half a century old. This behavior hasn't been acceptable during any of that time.
Ashton is a very pretty young woman. I don’t know the situation but I hope no one is being disrespectful to her.
What a beautiful young woman!!! The gorilla thing is a disgrace. I could understand criticizing her for playing football, but mocking her race with a gorilla suit? Disgusting.
I don’t know but I’m tired of people being called black when they obviously have other racial makeup....
I’ll give the white blonde girl the benefit of the doubt — somebody snapped a silly HS pic and some unknown schmuck put the lousy label on the pic.
It’s funny how there’s been an explosion of this crap after 8 years of Obama. NOT a coincidence.
I hope you’re right.
She’s as far from looking like a gorilla as you can get.
