A girl’s basketball team in Buffalo has been suspended for chanting the n-word before every basketball game. Tyra Batts, the only black person on the team, spoke up against the tradition and said that she was shut down by the rest of her teammates.
According to Batts, the girls would make a circle, say a prayer and then say, “One, two,three, nigger!”
Ms. Batts needs to leave this school as soon as possible, if they are that racist a suspension won’t do anything to change their heart. This particular team actually needs to be suspended for the rest of the season.
Really? In 2011 you think it is okay to chant nigger before every game. God help them and the coach who aloowed this to go on for years. Wake up people. The coach should be fired.
wow and where s the coach when all this is going on? stay strong sista i know what you really wanted to do lol play ball they mad because you got something they could never have! bein able to dance is example one and there r so many other things lol
Those slimy headed hoes need to refrain from their teachings at home, especially by their father/ brothers.
“Once the principal UNDERSTOOD what was going on?” How is that in any way hard to understand? Why hasn’t the coach been fired?” If it’s just a word, then find another one, one that doesn’t offend an entire race of people. How ignorant are these people? And of course it’s the black girls fault that they got in trouble. No ownership of what they did at all. Typical.
When will this ignorance end?
Hard to believe this occured in the enlightened state of New York.
Apparently this has been going on for sometime. If everytime a game started they are chatting this!!! So it is safe to assume that the coaches and prinicpal knew about it. This Batts just call them out on it.
