I have no idea what exactly was offensive.. No dirty words were said but I think something was implied by what they said,, likely racist.... But anyway,, this article had one sweet pic of underarmour shoe. is that the Team issue ?
so sounds like some hypocrisy on one parties part in some ways. Bigotry is bigotry in the end.
Not just the remark, but the fact that a coach heard it and had done nothing of it. Too many bystanders in today's world.
I have seen him at tourneys-remember one year he was collecting used racquets and shoes for some cause at a tourney-dont remember if it was for players with special needs, wheelchairs, or low income. I personally never had any interaction with him or his dad. My son had several friends who were SC players-SB was not one of them. However, I believe too many people are tried in the court of public opinion without all the facts being known. I would not want any young person, whether I personally knew or liked them or not, to be cyber attacked on such a large scale. I think this was a case of out of control trash talk vs outright racism with both parties probably sharing in the blame but only one party publicly shamed. That said I am glad to see that the ASU chancellor is asking the AD to engage a 3rd party to assess the diversity and inclusion practices within the athletic dept. Based on other tweets from AA athletes at ASU in different sports, there could be elements of racism in the school's athletic culture, not just with individuals.
Yea, it went both ways. Just the African American wanted to make a big deal about it. Not sure if he wanted to get justice or by just getting revenge. The guys getting numerous death threats and got kicked off the team. Black guy will also be suspended when the investigation goes further. If he said that term, no way they're gonna let him off the hook either. And like I said, he hasn't been the "nicest" towards homosexuals.
Wow. I do not know either player but thanks for posting this.

Based on the shadow, shoes, racket, that picture is a picture of murray not an app state player.I have no idea what exactly was offensive..

it is so weird that Murray Underarmour shoe still hasn't been released ??????? its been years. does the shoe suck ? is that why Andy injured his hip ?
Now they both know who's their daddy!
How is the investigation at NC A&T coming along?
Because saying F you to someone, while vulgar is not racist. Is it really that hard to understand?
If you need to use a racial slur to insult anyone, you are bigot. Plain and simple.
I just looked at the opponent who was a senior so it was his last year anyway. He had not had a successful career-he had a 2-14 freshmen season and was 1-14 his senior year with his best year as a junior 4-11. The team had an 0-18 season that year. Team probably has no or few $ for athletic scholarships to have that bad of a record. Sounds like that coach should have scheduled some low to mid level D2/D3/NAIA matches for that team vs mostly D1 matches-team did lose to NAIA teams but they played top NAIA teams. All the players who were underclassmen that year returned except one who transferred so it doesnt look like any player was expelled from NC A& T team for their share of trash talk and rude comments. Spencer's opponent played 9 other matches after his App State match so appears no consequences for him. Not fair but maybe it is punishment enough to play on a team that loses 18 straight matches....
It was a small "crowd."
