This sounds like something an NFL team would say.
The question begs which team was it. It isn’t unusual for NFL teams to treat prospects like a piece of meat and because they don’t understand black culture they are normally inappropriate with their questions.
What does having a nose ring have to do with if someone can run the football or not?
