(13,574 posts)black players on about 1/3 of the football teams we played. If a ref heard a racial slur, you'd be ejected from the game, then suspended by our athletic director, if you weren't kicked off the team.
One of the best athlete at our neighboring rival was a white kid named Bruce that we all naturally hated. Rumor had it that he had gotten his girlfriend pregnant. He was on their basketball team too, and some jackasses brought a sign that said "Poppa Bruce". That sign lasted about 30 seconds. Our AD went up in the stands, took it and escorted the two that had it out of the building.
That's Trump's America. If that school was around back when I played, I wouldn't be surprised if they wouldn't put up with that shit then.
