Youth Baseball League President Suspended for Facebook Comment

The after a black mother called him out on a comment he made about the late singer Whitney Houston using a racial slur on his personal Facebook page. The league’s board say it would “revisit” bringing him after he completes a sensitivity training class.

OakLawnPerson: It’s so damn funny how people judge this guy by what he said on his PERSONAL Facebook [account]. No one is saying anything about the person that posted this on a site for kids to get email alerts and read this comment that was never meant for their eyes. Whitney was nothing but a damn crackhead and a waste of skin!! I wonder how many people say someone is white trash about someone cause I bet at least one of you said that. But lets continue to throw this man under the bus and forget about all the things he has done for the organization …

Elvis: “Freedom of speech is just that. He has the freedom to express his thoughts. But along with that freedom comes the consequences. You cannot have it both ways. Say what you want, but then don't be surprised when people are offended by what you post AND action is taken against what you post.”
