(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.

hoax
Attention whore claims what?
There is a newsgroup on the usenet where people post pictures of female celebrities’ faces photoshopped onto the bodies of nude women in pornographic positions or performing various sex acts. Apparently it’s a serious fetish among some of the less stable members of society.
Some of the photoshopping is discernable, but some of it is really professional. Strange way to get your jollies.
Hey, you boot an easy, double play grounder and you will be heckled!/s
Hoax? You bet.
I’ll make a deal with this kid.
If I can realize not all Blacks approve of the Black Lives
Matter actions, he should be able to realize not all Whites
agree with what a slim minority of Whites spew.
And, if you stop believing every lie people tell, I’ll try to not think you are stupid.
From CNN? Then its most probably BS!
Sadly, you are correct but Id go even further, with many under the influence of those at the top of so-called BLM types
and maybe this includes many non-black antifa types, emotional, less well educated blacks are far worse off than those on the plantations of old, as they are used as cannon fodder to run defense to attain goals that will never trickle down to those on the bottom rungs of that ladder.
Yeah, but a certain percentage of FReepers will believe it, or pretend to.
LOL, they’re not even original.
Bull. Shit.
Did MAGA country throw nooses at him too?

When he looked down towards his feet, he saw grass blades arranged in a noose pattern.
Grown on purpose.
Groomed by the landscaper.
I can not count the number of individual and team contests that I have participated. Soccer, football, rugby, wrestling, track & field, basketball - to name a few with audiences in attendance.
I could hear the roar and buzz of the crowd but hardly ever any words other than my name occasionally.
Since NO ONE ELSE seems to have heard these epithets, I'm calling BS.
This happened June 27th? Are they even playing HS baseball there now? Our boys played six games before school sports were cancelled because of this stupid virus. They never finished the season.
Because it most likely didn't happen.
