Summary

It has not been a good month is the sports world when it comes to racism. Last weel Bronny James, Lebron's son, got lambasted by many for taking a white girl to the prom. The comments on social media were disgusting both towards he and his date. Then two weeks ago Draymond Green accused sports talk show icon Cristopher Russo of being racist. Draymond know considers himself as " The New Media". Let's all pray that doesn't become reality. This past weekend Josh Donaldson called White Sox Shortstop Tim Anderson Jackie. Donaldson claims it was a joke from a SI article in which Anderson referred to himself as 'today's Jackie Robinson". Yesterday Donaldson was suspended for one game by MLB. Also, over the weekend Nazem Kadri of the Colorado Avalanche ran into St. Louis goalie Jordan Binnington. Binnington injured his knee and is out for the rest of the series. Kadri who has a history of dirty plays is a Muslim of Lebanese descent. No penalty was called on the play and after reviewing the play the NHL said no discipline would be forthcoming. Over the past few days Kadri has received numerous threats and racial attacks. The St Louis Police Department has had to put officers in from of the team hotel. Learn more about your ad choices.
