NFL player & friends asked to leave Chipotle 'cause white customer uncomfortable.

The Right gets upset when we call out systemic racism. This week black football player Darius Leonard was thrown out of a Chipotle restaurant. Last week Marcia Grant and her family were denied entrance into Ouzo Bay restaurant under the pretext of her son's attire even as another white family similarly attired was eating there.

The witness spoke to us on the condition of anonymity -- but we were able to confirm the person was at the South Carolina location at the time of Thursday's incident.

The witness says Leonard was peacefully enjoying his meal with his party and NEVER trash-talked the other patron -- who had complained to management about Leonard's group being aggressive and unruly.

We're told the Indianapolis Colts superstar appeared upset when the manager asked his group to leave -- but he never lost his cool.

In fact, we're told after leaving the restaurant, Leonard went back inside to explain to the manager why he believed the situation was unfair and racially motivated.

So what did the manager do to change what happened at his location ?
After Leonard went public, we're told the store commissioned an armed security guard to man the front door as a precautionary measure.

Their food is some of the worst. IMO but if someone wants to eat there and isn’t causing any trouble

Hope to high hell,Leonard Sues the shit out of this Company. Wonder how many Chipolte Franchises are owned by AA Players or their Families. Do know,some of the first investors into this Company were Pro Football Players..
