That took such a toll on him that he ended up marrying a white woman.

And if he had somehow hurt himself the school would not only be liable for his injury but would also then have to explain why they allowed a student inside the building by himself after hours

There was a coach at my high school in the late 90s that used to leave the weight room unlocked in case any of the players wanted to work out on their off days during the summer. A guy a few years older than me went in one morning, dropped a 45lb plate on hit foot, then tried to sue the school for negligence.

Needless to say that door started getting locked.

Yeah, it's not a racism thing, it's a major liability.

ETA: for someone that's obviously pretty good at business as he was elected president of the players association, he should know this already.

You’re assuming black people in this country are genuinely motivated by logic when it comes to racism. They’re not. It’s a tool they use to advance their interests, and they’re going to use it for as long as it works.

As a white guy, I used to get kicked out of my school's gym after hours as well. Guess they are racist against blacks and whites. I want reparations!

I've kind of like stepped away for a little bit because it was disrespectful


A-ha! He was disrespek!

A school didn’t give a high school kid complete access to a school facility for multiple reasons, some already mentioned in this thread, but it was all really just disrespect because of his skin color.

This happens at every school in America unless you have a faculty member willing to unlock the gym and trust you enough to be there unsupervised.
