(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.

So easy for MSM to make up stories, even a caveman could do it. And, their stories are b-o-r-i-n-g. MSM should recruit trained fictional writers so at least their stuff could be interesting.
High School baseball all over the South was canceled this Spring of Wuhan-Virus.
Could be due to it not happening.
Hysterical blacks have become so delusional they see and hear imaginary stuff.
It's not just black people getting hysterical...it's ALL people.
From another Freeper:
“When a group gets used to preferential treatment, being treated equally seems like discrimination”.
Why is he offended to be called collin? Should have almost busted his chest in pride........................
CNN stirring the pot.
I want them hanged.
You are right.
I just advocated hanging CNN.
I just find it hard to believe such a thing happened. The more details they claim about it, the less realistic it becomes. I also am of the notion it’s another hoax.
This happened June 27th? Are they even playing HS baseball there now?

Iowa plays high school baseball and softball as summer sports—it’s the only state that does this. What’s different this year is a later starting date.
