A player put a small noose in the locker of one of my black teammates in high school 1969. The parents of the white kid went to the house of the black kid and apologized, made their son do so also. The black family invited them to church that next Sunday with them.
That Sunday October 1969 47 players, 9 of them African American, went to that church together. Some of the parents of the white players did not want them to go, BUT THEY DID.
We were a lousy team that year, because we had too many white players!, but we ended up winning 3 of the last 6 and my senior year we won 8.
Been there done that, did not get a T shirt but know this tag thing is all MEDIA HYPE.
That dumb asses buy hook, line and sinker.
Sometimes people do the right thing. Sometimes they do not.
