‘You should have been George Floyd:’ Black baseball player taunted at high school game

CHARLES CITY, Iowa – Jeremiah Chapman is a four-sport student-athlete at Charles City High School, but he was ready to give all of that up after hecklers hurled racist taunts at him during a June 27 baseball game.
Chapman, 17, is the lone black player on the varsity baseball squad.
quote:
Chapman, who is an outfielder, said he was later told by hecklers to go work in the field, referring to the labor that enslaved Africans once performed.
“That made me really mad because I have never worked in the field a day in my life,” Chapman explained.
The opposing fans then turned their attention away from Chapman and back to the other players. Chapman said he again told his teammates to ignore them, which is when the harshest taunt came his way.
According to Chapman, someone shouted at him that he should have been George Floyd.

High schoolers are also some of the biggest attention whores.

I'm not saying that people doing/saying stuff like this is acceptable at all, but it's going to happen more and more. The extreme racism coming from the BLM side is going to push people to the point where they begin to fire back.

We need to confirm if the player was high on Fentanyl passing a counterfeit pitch

Where can I donate to his GoFundMe?

Why is this in the media? Yes let's continue the divisive state of the country. He should've notified his coaches and let the coaches notify his administration and go from there.

Back in the late 1970's I nearly got ejected from a game for taunting the fat catcher on the opposition when he dinked a dribbler to me at 1st base and came huffing and puffing chugging down the line like he stood a chance. I tap danced all around the base without touching it till the kid got close then stepped on it right in his face.

I’m not saying this is a hoax. But this is a hoax

This was in IOWA...definitely stupid if it happened, but how is it possible all of this went down and no account of what went on from anyone outside this kid.

I bet he found a noose is his locker too

High school kids are dumb ... plain ole dumb. This shouldn't have happened. I mean I get "heckling" but this was to me too far.
