Did somebody call the black guy a “Coumo”?
To: Mr.Unique
The guy was lucky he was not shot at that stadium.

Even though the fan did not use a racial slur, he is lucky he was not punished by the Rockies. We have seen occasions where a person has been punished for using words that sound similar to a racial slur, yet have no racial meaning.
To: Mr.Unique
does not matter. if someone was offended, its still racist.
see niggardly affair

It is clear that the Rockies are against any kind of racial or derogatory language. It is also clear that the Rockies have been niggardly in their acquisition of new talent.
Just saying...

“The fan was accused ...”
By whom?
To: Mr.Unique
The Rockies confirmed that no one on the field, including Brinson, heard anything offensive. How can they possibly justify tweeting that they are "disgusted by the racial slur" directed at Brinson, then release this? How can something that didn't happen disgust them?

This whole thing about people yelling ‘racial slurs’ and people losing their s**t is fricken absurd. We are ruled by the mob and the mob is full of children.
