Youth coach suspended for calling Whitney the N-word
Youth baseball president and coach John Kelly says he's not racist, but he has been suspended for a season for posting a racial slur online. As Prep Rally reports, Kelly has been suspended, but not banned, from the league in Oak Lawn, Ill., for writing, "I'm so sick of reading about this dumb stupid N - - - - - Whitney Houston" on Facebook following the singer's Feb. 11 death.
When confronted about the post, Kelly responded that he isn't a racist because he has "some amazing friends who are black." Maybe he's leaed the error of his ways, as he's now headed to sensitivity classes.
Should Kelly be banned from the league?
