white basketball coach jason popp

RICHMOND HEIGHTS, Ohio- Jason Popp, the coach of the Richmond Heights Boys Varsity Basketball has come under fire for racist comments and harassment. According to documents, Popp would use racial slurs against his players and insult them for being poor. Among the things he said were

“I”m going to need you to play like n—-ers, which you are”

According to Fox 8 in Richmond, several players are willing to boycott Popp:

Most players say they are willing to give up their undefeated season if the coach remains. Although some want to keep playing.

“I think as a team, we should still get our butts on the court because no matter what somebody says to you, we love basketball, all of us loves basketball and I think no matter what he says, we need to go for our goal and go 20-and-0,” said varsity player London Fulton, Jr.

    And this joker is still breathing? Who does this guy think he is and what makes him think he can talk to young men like that and get away with it. I’m shocked that he would feel so comfortable talking like that and I’m shocked he’s still on the job. PERIOD.

    dude is like that and the team is actually winning? I can’t imagine what he would be saying if they were sub .500. Two things I can’t understand. One, the Superintendent is black and she needs to be “talked” into taking action? and two, the team has been dealing with this for months? Why wasn’t this made an issue the first time it happened? It certainly is a new day! Back in my day, we all loved and respected Coach DeVal, but Coach would have got that azz beaten thoroughly if he even slipped up and called us nigg.ers!

    You know, when I used to watch college basketball a few years ago, It used to always make my skin cringe to see these coaches yelling and screaming at these predominately black teams (I’m talking D1). I never understood why they felt that was an effective way to get their point across. I mean college athletics is supposedly a preparation for real life. I could never understand that, since I have never been on a job where a boss could berate a worker like that!

    Casey must have some RSS feed to a site that posts all inappropriate use of the N word, globally. Good grief! How in the world do you manage to find all these stories, while you never seem to be printing anything of real and positive value to the black community! I can honestly say, if it weren’t for you I would never even hear of these valueless stories! Ok son! I just hit you with three comments but you probably won’t need all three since these stories are always the most popular on this site anyway!

    If any of you have read the book, The Isis Papers, by Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, you would Overstand where this white boy is coming from. In her book, she describes the meaning of symbols, and what the ‘BASKETBALL’ and the ‘FOOTBALL’ really represents.

    Briefly, since we are dealing with Black basketball players, I will generalize what the object of the basketball represents, then you can better OVERstand what this nigga white coach is doing to our Black children.

    The color of the basketball is brown and the majority of players, both professionals, and in high school, depending on the area in which they live; most of the Black players attend a predominately, Black school. And, nine times out of ten, the coaches are caucasoids!

    A basketball represents the ‘balls’ of a Blackman, and most of us are aware that the white slave maker, ‘cut the balls’ off the Blackman, before they burned him in a pit or while he was hanging from a tree! With this in mind, when the caucasoid male is ‘over’ Black players, i.e. coaching, he is in control of the Black players, and their ‘BALLS.’ This is why caucasoid males are so interested in the p-enis and ‘BALLS’ of Black males.

    It’s called p-enis envy! As we all are aware, the majority of white boys genitals are smaller than the Black man’s genitals. Also, this is why he calls his new plantation (the prison), the ‘PEN-AL’ OR ‘PEN-IS’ system because males are rounded up and put on this ‘plantation’ around other males. This is why this white nigga beast cut the p-enis and ‘balls’ off the Black man during our FORCED enslavement BECAUSE HE WAS ENVIOUS OF OUR GENITALS!!!!

    Now, back to this white nigga coach: HE IS NO DIFFERENT FROM the slave makers of yesterday, because he is still ‘in control of the Black male’s balls;’ not only the basketball, but also HIS BALLS! In other words, this yankee can fire or ‘CUT Black players from the team, if he can’t play up to [his] standards. The basketball is a symbol most negroes don’t OVERstand; that it is a symbol of the Black man’s ‘genitals’ or his ‘balls.’

    This is where the slogan: “he ain’t got no balls” comes from; the caucasoid male. This slogan really means “we [slave makers] cut [the Black man's] balls off and now he has: NO BALLS.” These Black ‘ball’ players have been brainwashed to believe that a white nigga coach loves them and they look up to him as a ‘father’ figure, just like some of the weak male slaves, looked up to his ‘master’ as his FATHER or god. The caucasoid coach is looked upon as the ‘master,’ who still controls these young ‘ball’ players, which goes back to the old slave and master theory of caucasoid males, being god [master] and will always be OVER the Black man.

    This is why our children need BOOKS in their hands, instead of a BALL in their hands!! The white boy will ALWAYS control them, as long as they have a BALL in their hands, and this also applies for these professional ‘BALL’ players!

    YOU NEVER NEVER, HEAR WHITE BALL PLAYERS ‘LOOK’ UP TO THEIR BLACK COACHES AS A FATHER FIGURE…I WONDER WHY?

    I keep telling y’all:

    NIGGAZ PLAY FOOTBALL, BASEBALL AND BASKETBALL WHILE THE WHITE BOY CUT OF THEIR BALLS – Last Poets

    What ??? are you surprised ?????? after this last election white folk are showing thier ture nature — and I bet the coach is a member of THE TEA PARTY — this is only trhe begining!

    So sad as a coach and teacher he should have known better. A teacher is there to give kids the push to succeed not to put them down. Wow, to many of these people feel they can say anything they want. Get rid of his azz.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ASKARI/ ASKARI

    This situation is taking too long! What is there to investigate, Superintendent? To the players (especially London Fulton Jr) – Your respect should be more important than a game. To the parents – No self-respecting parent would allow their kid to play for this man. Don’t send your kid to a practice or game until he is removed. To the Principal/Superintendent – A meeting with the players and coach should have been called yesterday! Get them in the room together and if he made any racist statements, relieve him of his duties immediately. I played ball and there are others ways to communicate and motivate players. Promote the assistant coach for the remainder of the year.

    OMG!!!! This ‘punk’ needs to get ‘popped’ in his foul and racist mouth! Where is the ‘Fathers, Uncles, Cousins and other Men Folk’! If this country believes that the “Egyptians” the divine and uncompromising right to ‘rebel and stand up against’ injustice and tyranny’ that only dates itself 30 years, surely we have a universal right and a God-given right to stand up and ‘rebel against injustice and tyranny’ that pre-dates their by 400 years!!! This ‘fag’ may be a ‘tea party’, but when he mess with and disrespect our precious children I become the “water’ that drowns his a##! The Bible tells us that, “There is a time and season for all things”. “A time to rejoice and a time to cry”. “A time to live and a time to die”. For me, it is a ‘time to go to jail’!! The season is upon us!!! These young men shouldn’t be ‘forced’ to be around a ‘white racist’ that has molested their positive sense of self, disrespected them, their families, community and culture. This ‘maggot’ has attempted to ‘rape’ these ‘young brothers’ of their ‘souls’! No! HE HAS TO GO!!!!!! As Stevie Wonder said in his song, “It is getting ready to blow”!!!! Amen!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/itskelsbaby/ itskelsbaby

    Smdh! This is crazy, and this man still has a job? How? Why? Then you have one of the players stating that they should still play even if the coach remains the coach? Is he serious? Al Sharpton; Jessie Jackson, where are you?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/n0gar/ n0gar

    Yet another example of the fear that the white man has over the negro. I have ALWAYS said this – if they call you a n****r to your face you do nothing but make excuses to NOT do anything! On the other hand, if that had been a black coach, the players would have tried to murder him because ‘he disrespected’ and whites would have called him racist.

    Since the coach is white, the negroes just act as if they never heard and want to press on playing ball! When the white man brings his racism to YOUR FACE, niggas freeze up with that inner fear of whites no matter how weak he looks. Blacks always talk about what they would do to racists if it happened to them, but when it does they freeze up. They do not freeze up and do no hesitate to kill a nigga for the smallest thing. That is because they do not respect a nigga, but they respect that white man!

    You have to start whipping some ass back people. Why take disrespect from whites but you do not take an ounce from blacks? When whites disrespect, you make a million and one excuses of why you won’t act, but you do not give the black man the same amount of rope! No wonder blacks are under white control. Too many are scared! When a few are scared you can overcome. When almost all are scared, you remain in check.

    DId someone check the boys and thier parents facebook pages to see how many times they call thier friends or them selfs the word that they seem to find so offencive when someone else says it. The foreparents of all the parents did not want anyone to be called that that is why they bleed sweeted and died because they wanted to be free. Did the foreparents want men to be free so one could call another a word that has never been flatering to any one.Why dont the parents let thier children listen to sly and the family stone when he said dont call me nigga honkey. No they let them listed to the things that mean nothing for thier future. Clean up your house first. Sweep around your own frount door first. Help clean our own village first and show the world that we are the best. Just because u drive a high dollar car does not mean u have overcome, when your village has all the bad things in them.

    This will hopefully be read by someone at Black Planet and I hope I get support from other Black Planet members on this issue, which is that there is too much negativity on the page. Almost everyday I’m met with a bold headline about some madness that’s happening to a person of color. We need more balance if we don’t tell eachother about the good things happening in our community who will. Remember “Love makes us Strong” This is Black History month make us smile. This is News One but I here from a link at BP, I don’t receive this site daily but the same message holds more good news

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sheltwon_3/ Sheltwon_3

    I am glad this is reported because some of this stuff is so unbelievable in these times. It is shocking how openly racist some people are. I keep hearing people say racism is dead but it is more apparent that racism is alive and well. There does need to be a balance but i think there is just too much negative stuff that gets the people who are posting this emotional because they can not believe what they just found out about and they want to share it with us.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Soughtful/ Soughtful

    I for one appreciate BP giving us stories like this via NewsOne. It’s honest and true,…in a time where people love to pretend racism doesn’t exist.

    It’s also relevant and meaningful, not gossip…which bp has a horrible tendency of peddling.

    Great accomplishment by the team to go undefeated, despite playing for the grand wizard. They need a new coach now! I could never imagine playing basketball for a Klansman, without eventually wanting to murder him.

    Parents, school administrators, etc….this is a no brainer!

    If we want White folks or any other non-black person to stop calling us the N word, then we have to stop using it

    I do not buy the nonsense that it is a term of endearment. I do not hear the jews embracing degrogatory words or even hispanics doing so mainstream as Black folks are

This Is one of the main reason we are so far behind Is that some Negros get into sets of office thinking that this white man will allow him to change what they salved, for Robbed and Killed for just to call there own and you really think that they are gonna release It to a Niggar He will never trade places’ with you Soon he will go back to rapping black women in the open public as his history has shown us he can and will do and there want be a Dam thing we can do by that time 95% of our strong brothers will either be dead or locked up with life sentences: leaving the balk woman to fend for her self as she Is doing to day.

    We are in a world where white folk can do what ever they want and get away with it. This school oviously condone his behavior. Even in a black enriched sport whites will alway be in charge. The coaches comment represents society and their thought of blacks.
    They put us in slavery for absolutely nothing, they label us as nergros, blacks, etc.

    At some time enough has got to be enough. White menand other races may not look at us as
    humans., But united we stand and devided we all shall fall. And I mean all.

    I am from Toronto I see the Raptors coach of the year get fired for going 8-9, just because he is black. They hired a white coach who for the past 3 seasons have gone 75-150, and the media say he is doing a great job.

    For me I am not racist, people are people to me, but some times we have to fightback and let
    the racist feel our might.
    Fire the coach. And to those worthless African american who use the “N” like a fashionable
    piece of garment. You should be dealt with too.

    to all those idiots who try to say lets see how many times the players call each other nigga, they’re not saying it in a demeaning and hurtful way like the coach was doing to them,and until people can stop calling us the N word in a negative way why would you stop using it in a way much more positive way? you guys really need to get your mind right and stop co signing this, childish behavior by the “adult” in question.

    I am tired of Black folks defending the N word.. There is no good use of the N word.. This is what our Civil Rights leaders fought for … to stop folks from using that word against us and yet we use it.

    The N word can never be used in a positive way. I repeat the N word can never be used in a positive way.

    I am Black and I am glad my Black friends respect me enough not to use that word around me.

    It is Black History Month and some folks are talking about, that when black folks use the N word towards each other, there are not using it in a hurtful manner.

    Give me a break. What nonsense and erroneous thinking! Some Black folks will never see the light.

    I assume it is me you are talking about well lets break down your speaking and see how well you have seen the light?

    Lets start off with this quote
    “If we want people to stop calling us the N word, we also got to stop using it. It is not a term of endearment. Rappers have to stop using it in their rap songs”

    I would have to think otherwise the assumption that your putting out there is that the N word is a word of African American creation. And what the hell do rappers have to do with calling some bball players a N****R? I challenge you to find me some songs where a white rapper has called us n****rs and we cosigned it. You must’ve forgotten or possibly may not have read that the N word is a word that was called to blacks in a derogative way. and was used against us before we used the word and will be used against us even if we were to stop using the word.

    “Give me a break. What nonsense and erroneous thinking! Some Black folks will never see the light.”

    What light are you talking about. My thinking is quite rational and far from erroneous I just threw some thoughts out there. Your the one speaking nonsense and in fact seem to be happy that your race got disrespected. Thats as confusing as it gets.

    “It is kind of good this happen”
    And how the hell is this. If someone called your ass a N****R would you be happy? just because you don’t say the word to other blacks doesn’t take off the hurt and discomfort it causes others when used by whites, with there history behind the word.

    “I am Black and do not use all that hood, jive, ebonic talk. Talk like you went to school.”
    Just because you don’t talk that way and im sure your very knowledgeable with your queens english. doesn’t mean you should force your quite frankly silly ideology on others, in fact talk like you went to school sounds pretty coonish seeing as damn near EVERYONE at one point or another has went to school.

    “It is Black History Month and some folks are talking about, that when black folks use the N word towards each other, there are not using it in a hurtful manner”
    F**k that nonsense that your speaking black history is a subject that should be studied year round and people who have seen the light do that for every month of the year. SO you can have fun watching your tv specials or what ever for the smallest month of the year while the intellects read and observe year round, and stop making excuses on your people for anothers peoples faults.

    There is no difference between N word ending in “ga”, “guh”, or “ger”. It all has the same connotation. Some Black folks will never learn

    Connotations definition= The set of associations implied by a word in addition to its literal meaning.

    are you sure about that? I advise you read more so that you know what you are saying. I ask you really quick that when the black folk uses the word it has the same meaning as when the white basket ball coach uses it?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/StrongBlackMan84/ StrongBlackMan84

    If we want people to stop calling us the N word, we also got to stop using it. It is not a term of endearment. Rappers have to stop using it in their rap songs. The folks who use the N word in the mainstream are BLACK folks.

    It is rare to hear a white person use that word in public in todays age. It is black folks that use it daily as if they have no other vocabulary.

    Yes, I am happy this incidence happen. Because some Black folks are becoming more and more ignorant. The N word can never be used in a positive manner.. Maybe this would teach some Black folks to stop using the word.

    Yes, the use of the N world began with slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow. But who uses it persistently today? Rappers, and ignorant young black folks.

    “School” is referring to higher education ( 4 year degree/ grad school) not high school or middle school.

    http://bloggingoutfromouterspace.blogspot.com/

    Yes there is racism, but do some black folks act like they got sense no. Do we see lots of Black Men been productive citizens? NO.

    Do we see lots of Black Men pursuing education and excellence other than being entertainers and athletes? NO

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/StrongBlackMan84/ StrongBlackMan84

    Do we see Black folks aspire to use their mind? NO.. Do we see Blacks value education as other races do? NO.. People want to coon and become rappers that further pollute the Black community and potentiate the social misery.

    Black folks we cannot continue “blame the white man syndrome”. We have done this for so long that our Black communities are still in shambles..

    Every Black city have gone to is so eerily similar… ….Crime, Poverty, gangs, deteriorating schools.. Look at Newark, Philadelphia, loot at Chicago… Lots of examples..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TaiMega/ TaiMega

    NO WHITE PEOPLE SHOULD EVER SAY IT. AND ANY PERSON IN A POSITION OF AUTHORITY SHOULD EVER SAY IT, EVEN MORE SO WHEN YOUR DEALING WITH KIDS. ITS A SHAME YOU STILL BLAME BLACKS FOR EVERYTHING. THIS COACH IS OUT OF LINE AND NEEDS TO BEG THESE KIDS FOR HIS JOB BACK AND APOLOGIZE LIKE A HUMBLE MAN.
    SAD!!

    The blame the “white man syndrome” has no made our communities better. We got to start with ourselves.

    All this blaming the white man has not gotten us anywhere. We have to do better for ourselves.

    How is crime and poverty so common in almost every Black city? Our children lag behind in almost every category.

    People talk like today’s rap is positive for our young children’s ears.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kukura2/ kukura2

    and what does this have to do with the white guy calling his black team N****rs?

    And its really not that rare to hear a white person use the word in public in todays age seen the news much?

    If you and your friends don’t use the word how would you know black folks use it and have no other vocabulary?

    and with this vocabulary thing going on you need to grab dictionary because school does not mean college.

    Just because you don’t see lots of black men being productive doesn’t mean thats not the case, and just because you don’t see lots of black men pursuing education doesn’t mean thats not true.

    It’s a poor persons thing not a black men thing. And how this whole racist thing works out it leaves blacks on the lower end of the economic table.

    You can see the exact same thing in poor hispanic asian and white communities too. So what are you trying to prove?

    No one has rights to end the N word, even us Black People

    If we want others to stop saying it, we got to stop saying it ourselves

    If I get on the bus or train now, I would probably hear the N word like 100 times.. Yet if someone that is not black says, we start protesting.

    we should protest when black folks use the word too

    No one should be using that word

    Some Black folks throw the word around so freely that it gives other people permission to do the same

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/StrongBlackMan84/ StrongBlackMan84

    Yes there is racism and such… but should we just sit there and complain all the time. NO

    Should Black folks continue to promote ignorance, “hood mentality”, and not excelling academically? NO

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kukura2/ kukura2

    your arguments aren’t worth arguing with I have countered everyone, and have shown you that it is not a black thing but a poverty thing.

    I am sorry, actually really I am not but my brothers always say what up “N” when they come to my house so when a brotha calls me the word, it comes from a different place, but it’s different when a white person calls you the word. Just the way it is, & I am fine wit it..

    @StrongBlackMan84 you’re sounding mighty weak here,there is a difference when a white person call a black person a n****r.You can even hear it in the tone of a white person when they say n****r,that they mean to insult.When a white person call you a n****r don’t take it hard just smile.

    After reading a few of the comments I had enough. It does not matter what I think or others think who are not directly affected by this coach. What matters is if the players feel insulted or harassed by the coach then that is all that matters. Frankly all the other comments even mines are not relevant to a certain degree unless they are in favor of what the players want. I say heck yes he is a racist if he said it and I support the players who feel insulted and/or harassed 100%. I am Curmilus Dancy II @ The Political Agitator.com.

    Yes, I am a black man and you will not see me protesting when white people or other races use the N word.

    I am tired of Black ignorance..

    If Black folks continue to use it, no matter the way it is used, it is still wrong and gives every other race permission to do the same.

    I stand my belief…

    Yes there is racism, we as Black people also got to accept where we fail and do not do right. I know the truth hurts.

    So I am not surprised.

    I am sure the coach heard the N word numerous times from the players mouth.

    In the white man’s mind, he is just repeating what he probably hears on a daily basis..

    My brother played college football and told me that cats on the team be throwing around the N word like water around coaches and other professionals

    I have several friends who are in on this with me…

    GREAT… who are you going to sell your products too..?

    Broaden your horizons… learn as much as you can about other cultures and people… the whole world has now become your horizon… get connected… I communicate everyday with people all around the world… that Internet is a powerful, powerful tool.

    You no longer have to be the Victim of the oppressors within these shores… we use to be the COMPOTITION you know…

    … let’s DO IT AGAIN.

    The following information has been kept from you (and the rest of the people here in the United States) for over 80 years… STUDY IT… you are strong and viciously competitive… that in itself is reason enough to keep you down… and whitey knows it.

    This whole thing about race is about nothing more than whitey trying to keep jobs and white supremacy firmly in place in white hands… and this History Lesson I am about to share with you… will show you… just how far they will go… to do just that.

    So… get some popcorn, and sit back… this presentation below takes ONE HOUR.

    CHECK IT… http://blacktulsa1921.blogspot.com/

    WARNING: The above link contains Mature Subject Matter; you will have to agree that you understand that.

    FUNNY, the kind of information that has begun to surface on the Internet, since the Obama Administration.

    Fuk that coach, he thinks he’s motivating those boys by being TUFF… Ha… we’re TUFF… with-or-without him… he’s making bad choices… he will purposely hold them BACK… when he gets the chance, and it really counts. He’s trying to up his anny… and prove his loyalty to the college and professional basketball Slave Traders… he want’s to transition into that arena (and now that he has a 20 & 0 team, he’s got a good shot at it) and he’s using that platform to put himself on the map… the SLAVE TRADERS MAP.

    He’s sure to get plenty of publicity from this one… it’s brilliant… even if I do say so myself.

    Gun him down.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Cocktail_Party/ Cocktail_Party

    First, if the coach was coaching a bunch of Jewish kids, he would NEVER call them a bunch of kikes ….even if those kids used that term to refer to themselves.

    Second, it’s ridiculous to blame Blacks for this behavior because, trust me, TONS of teachers and coaches hear Black kids using the term amongst each other in a jocular way yet they themselves don’t use the term.

    Last, it’s not healthy for older white men to be surrounded by Black men and boys because white men can’t handle being in a racially intense environment. A lot of white teachers teach in the inner city, predominately Black schools because they can’t find jobs anywhere else. They teach to make the money and then resent the kids for it. In this case, this man is coaching but it’s likely that he’s not fulfilled as an educator and is one of those people who hates getting up everyday.

    Regardless of what happens from here, he’s got the scarlet letter so it’s going to be tough for him to stay there. I’d be willing to bet the farm that he’s in over his head financially, hates human beings in general, despises Blacks, and just wants to blow up the world!

    Fire this guy, strip him of his teaching license, and let’s move on. White people are going through a terrible time right now psychologically so, unfortunately, we’re going to see more and more of this “I no longer give a sh*t” attitude from them.

    They literally believe that THEY’RE the victims of racism and that they’re the ones who are always being mistreated. Because they’re now struggling, most are doing everything in their power to insure that Blacks don’t surpass them. Whites are sick and most have no clue how sick they really are.

    I personally think London Fulton Jr. has the right perspective on the whole ordeal. Evidently this has not happened just the one time and those boys must like the game to be undefeated. My Dad always told me its not what you called but what you answer to. I fa Black person calls a white person honky they really don’t get all bent out of shape but we (Blacks) have been conditioned to react any time we hear the word n****r coming from them. Many lives have been lost; jobs walked off and families left in poverty and careers wrecked all behind irrational behavior from us reacting to being called n****r.
    Anymore we have glamorized the word n****r so much even we say to one another, “the ‘N’ word”. I had a dog that i trained to when I told him “bite” he would attack whoever I pointed him to and it was easy to do because I found something that irritating him and doing that saying bite he become conditioned to the point to react. That is the way I see Black folk and the word n****r. If you really want to bring about change in America start by educating the very same white folk who invoke in you Black man/woman to divorce who you are to attempt to be someone you are not. Maybe the coaches mother, daughter, wife or son is being sexed by somebody Black and he is angry. At any rate go the season undefeated…

    I’m sure that in the USA this White racist coach can find an all White school with children who are more like him. The school will be happy to hire him. Since he is such an ‘us’ against y’all kinda guy relocation will make him happier. Let him go to the school with the non-Black, non-poor students and prove that he is a super coach or…or…or prove that he is an average, mediocre White racist coach whose Richmond Heights high school – N***ER b’ball players made him look good.

    White on Black crime = protest and uproar

    White man use N word toward Black man no matter the context = protest and uproar

    Both use of N word by both Blacks and Whites is equally wrong. I don’t buy the argument that when Black folks use the N word that it is a term of endearment.

    Both Whites and Blacks should cease the use. Some Black folks continue to perpetuate negative stereotypes everyday by calling themselves N’s and cooning with big diamonds around their necks .

    My thoughts are don’t play until the issue with the coach is resolved. Yes, I know that the team is having a winning season but is it really worth sending a message that a win is more important than self-respect. Personally, I will not tolerate any disrespect regardless of what’s at stake. I wouldn’t let a manager on the job refer to me as “this one” or “mines” because no one owns me.

    The team needs to stick together and send a message that respect is priceless! I mean our ancestors gave up of their lives in order to be treated equally…and you are not willing to give up a win. Better watch out before we be right back where we started from…

    parents and team hold together. no way in the world this man should be over this team. he’ll probably use them for his own fame and throw them away to walk the streets. its hard to believe this was allowed to go for that length of time. i know everything has a process but he should be suspended without pay until after the investigation is over. after the facts have been revealed and they hold true, he should be immediately terminated.

    StrongBlackMan84 –

    I read through your statements to give you a fair hearing….I also do not believe you are a

    Black Man…You criticism is one-sided; its not even balanced…You are more interested in

    the response of the players (whom are kids) and not the actions of the Adult (the coach…His

    racial makeup is significant only because of the term he used to refer to them)…You

    digressed from the issue (a white adult who has a mentoring and authoritative role over our

    children who derided them in a racially- charged demeaning way) into a sermon about Black

    pathology…A Black Man concerned with our babies would have stuck to this issue – our

    Pathologies can be discussed in another forum….

    This news story is shocking, sad, and almost unbelievable! Why are the players even debating rather to continue playing on this team? It is most certainly a sure sign of the defeatist attitude of the majority of, not only “poor” Black American young people, but of many Black Americans in this country have developed when it pertains to the use of the ‘N’ word. The author of ‘CODE D.A.N.’ is right on point with this. Check this book out at http://www.amontellusc.com. I suggest Lil Wayne and his crew give the players more inspiration with one of his profound rap songs about their dumb asses. Maybe they will have even more undefeated seasons.

    he needs to go, there is no changing his attitude, what he says out of his mouth, is what he really feels deep inside.Some will never let their out dated and racist thoughts go.Until the hearts of man change and we realize that we are all created by one maker, who makes no mistakes, Then and only then, will we all live together as God intended .

    Wow, I am an African-American female, and I went to HS in Richmond Heights, and I had Coach Popp for phys ed and health, and he was a very nice guy. I never had any problems with him, nor did anyone that I know of have any problems with him either. I graduated 10 years ago, but my brother still attends school there, and he has NEVER had any problems with Coach Popp as a teacher or as a coach. I wasn’t there, so I cannot say what did or did not happen, but what I can say is that Coach Popp is a really nice, fair, and fun guy, and I believe that there is much more to this story that is NOT being told!!

    And to back up what @RichmondSpartan said before, the article is very much misquoted. What Coach Popp supposedly said was “Well, you guys don’t go out and play n*gger basketball, cause this is what they gonna expect y’all to do, play n*gger basketball”. And here is a link to one of MANY articles with the exact same quote, so where this quote came from I don’t know, but go figure BlackPlanet and NewsOne to have something radically misconstrued and grossly misquoted.
