(CNN)Competitive banter on the field during baseball games is a norm between teams and typically stretches into the bleachers among fans, but one school district in Iowa is saying comments made during a high school game crossed the line.
A Black player for Charles City High School heard "several bigoted comments yelled from the crowd" during a game played at Waverly-Shell Rock High on June 27, according to an online statement from the Charles City Community School district and information from the school district communications director.
The school district didn't name the player. Jeremiah Chapman, who says he's the only Black player on the Charles City High team, told CNN that fans yelled "You should have been George Floyd" and "Get back to the fields."
Chapman said he was even called "Colin" at one point, which he believes was a reference to Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL quarterback widely known for kneeling during the National Anthem in an effort to protest police brutality.

“...How could this be? Why didn’t they speak up?...”
Why???
I’ll tell you why - Because it’s probably just more made-up bullsh*t by another little little drama queen who didn’t get enough attention from daddy.
Assuming it true.
One person in one small town somewhere in the U.S. yelling bad taste taunts based on recent current events is national news.
Clearly systemic racism is systemic and ubiquitous. This proves it.
Yeah where is all the cell phone video that is so prevalent today?
Hard to believe no one has this recorded.
The comments here about what is, fundamentally, a meaningless event, tell us a lot about what is going on now.
Because it didn’t happen?
Hysterical blacks have become so delusional they see and hear imaginary stuff.
Many became so used to having things bestowed upon them, now that they are expected to perform and shazam, the pressure is clearly too much so they must invent imaginary words, deeds and actions!
Many of us are simply too tired and exhausted at handing them like fragile glass. Were simply no longer willing to do it or willing to take them or the word racist seriously!
I don’t believe it.
No way this happened. At least one fan (more like 99%) would rat out the heckler.
Ive attended rural youth Baseball games for 15 years - never once heard racist heckles.
But ONE QUESTION - Did this kid kneel for the Anthem?
Probably his parents were yelling.
They then displayed a noose, spray-painted go home ni***r on his garage door, and kidnapped him.
Yeah, Ive heard this story before...
I used to try to assume the best of most people (obviously dangerous individuals of any color excepted).
But BLM has convinced me never to trust any black person. The probability of them turning on a dime to assault or kill me has become too high. So I’ll cross the street, carry, and leave. Blacks have finally convinced me they are too risky as a group.
Sadly, a great number of them don’t deserve this treatment. But I can’t tell the difference in the split second that determines whether I live.
CNN fomenting racial discord
CNN is ATT
Antifa Telephone & Telegraph
GTH, ATT — racial agitator
There are at least a dozen more players on the team. A few of them at least are his friends.
So, why arent there any witnesses to this racist harassment?
Knowing the current zero tolerance mentality in schools these days, why wasnt the culprit immediately served with an expulsion order.
Considering the atmosphere of intolerance in public schools today this story just doesnt ring true.
AM NOT buying this report. Made up, probably staged if it really did happen just to make a story.
Exactly so. And #BLM will set blacks back another 20 years. #BLM simply screams louder than ever to enforce the entitlement / victimhood narrative, and turn up the rage when blacks fail. Regardless of what harm it does to black communities, families and society, #BLM is designed to keep them on the Democrat plantation.

Theres a clever video showing actor Steve Buscemis ugly face placed on Jennifer Lawrences beautiful body. It is a quite remarkable - and unsettling - fake. If you havent seen the video, its really worth a look. Here it is.
I agree. Fake news imo.
What’s the kid’s batting average? If he’s batting below 200, perhaps it was a little career advice from the stands and he should consider a job on a farm or ranch because he’s not going to be going to the big show any time soon.
Call me very very skeptical. Fans at a baseball game - a high school baseball game - did this? In Iowa?! No.
Oh, please. In my youth we smack talked so bad that today’s kids would go crying to their mommies.
In little league, we used to chant to black hitters who were friends of ours, “nigga...nigga...nigga...nigga...nigga...nigga...SWING!” Blacks and white would chant that. For the white kids we’d chant, “Honkey...Honkey...Honkey...Honkey...Honkey...Hit it!”
We were all the best of friend and never once thought of hating anyone.
