There is no doubt that what was said in that video was terrible. It is shameful, wrong, and there is no excuse of that sort of thing. I'm sure that doesn't reflect the individual's personal feelings as much as it is just a kid trying to "be cute" for the camera. Regardless, I cannot state how wrong that it is for him to do that. Words are simply words, but when you are in the person in question's position, you are representing yourself, your family, your school, and community. This community has dealt with this reputation for years and has made great strides to break free from it. This incident is a big step back.

That being said, I think a lot of people on social media are wrong in trying to get scholarships revoked, etc. We are still dealing with a kid and one with a potential bright future. One mistake (a huge one mind you) shouldn't go unforgiven. I do think a formal apology should be made. I do think an internal punishment should be made. I realize that there was a suspension for tonight's game. Hopefully it'll work out

I completely agree with everything you said. kids do and say stupid things sometimes and sometimes have to learn the hard way and it shouldn't go unpunished,but it's not my place or anybody else's to try to get a scholarship revoked.
