Are you surprised?
Just because they will play with you on the field or the court doesn’t mean that they aren’t racists.
There are a lot more players like Rocco Carley than you think out there in locker rooms. They just haven’t been caught on tape like him.
Oregon State freshman tight end Rocco Carley has been kicked off the team after an insanely offensive recording surfaced featuring Rocco using the n-word to describe black people.
We’ve heard the audio … it’s disgusting. Rocco uses a deep southern accent to go on a violent rant against black people, gay people and Muslims.
Oregon State head coach Jonathan Smith says he heard the audio Wednesday evening and immediately shared it with the athletic director, Scott Barnes.
“We both agreed this language and attitude is entirely unacceptable, regardless of circumstances or environment,” Smith said.
“I spoke with Rocco and dismissed him from the team. I will not tolerate racism or hate speech.”
He released a weak apology, but flip the page to see the racist comments he made, it will make you sick to your stomach.
