    Marquette 2020 lacrosse gets scholarship and admissions rescinded.

    Although this is a lacrosse player, student athletes should never post racist content to their social media. This girl just had her scholarship taken away and admissions to the school. https://marquettewire.org/4033375/sp...nts-community/

      it’s a good reminder to tell all athletes including soccer players to not post racist crap on socialism media.

        That's always been true. Coaches check on athletes before offers are given out. Kids should do a serious social media scrub before they start recruitment and from then forward be careful with what you post.

          Interesting that the advice here is be careful posting racist material. Here’s a novel idea. How about not being racist - then you don’t have to worry what you post...

            Generally true.

            But, today, people will twist it how they want.

            Support the police? You are racist.

            Support BLM? You are an anarchist.

            Say you love women? You are dirty

            Say you love to watch the EPL? You are sexist.

              But being racist is just FINE (as long as you don't post).

                It's not just about racial comments but all stupid comments. Some kids learn that the hard way. Some adults still haven't.

                  No it isn't fine, but obviously there may be more consequences if you broadcast it to the world than if you keep it to yourself. Likewise for lots of other stuff people do and say that seemed like a good idea at the time...

                    A similar thing - pictures that have hand signs in them. Who knows what the kid thought it meant, but if a team picture appears it puts the kid, the team, the coach, and the club or school at risk. Best to just avoid all that.

                    Coaches should tell the kids no hand signs of any kind in photos in uniform or with team mates.

                      Though TBH if you were actually thoughtful about how people get from here to there, you'd realize that taking the first step is how that happens. Gets people thinking.

                        "The message read “some ppl think it’s ok to f—— kneel during the national anthem so it’s ok to kneel on someone’s head. come at me. y’all brainwashed. kind disgusting lowkey,” which prompted frustration from numerous Marquette students, alumni and student organizations over the weekend."

                        There is nothing wrong with that statement. God forbid someone should have a differing opinion.

                        We have lost our collective minds.

                        Social media is the spawn of the devil.

                          Apparently the school that gave her the scholarship didn’t agree with her or you. Their right to deny her entry. Not the type they want on their campus or representing them on the field. Couldn’t agree with them more.

                          It’s not social media that’s the problem, it’s racist idiots.

                            Of course there is. Unless she was completely oblivious to the context, she was saying that if black people kneel during the national anthem then it's okay to kneel on a black person's head even if it results in their death.

                            She later admitted she was not oblivious, just appallingly tactless. Credit to her for owning up, unlike a bunch of the "adults" here. People say things all the time that are actually worse than they thought. Doesn't make them right.

                              Funny how if she was an 18 year old black man and made the same comment about white cops everyone would be saying the most vile things about him and asking the police to investigate/arrest him, but let a privileged white girl say it and suddenly we all make excuses like “credit her for owning up” and “people say things all the time that are actually worse”. Fact is she’s a little racist and somewhere along the way she was taught that and reinforced it was the right way to be. If she wants to own up to it, she should not only come out publicly and accept her punishment rather than crying about it, but also she should publicly advocate that her spot and scholarship go to a black girl. That would be the right thing to do rather than make up excuses.
