A youth baseball coach John Kelly, after watching the media discuss Whitney Houston's Death, went to his Facebook page and ranted about it.
He said, "I'm so sick if reading about this dumb stupid N----- Whitney Houston", and then continued on about her drug use and how she was a horrible role model -- as if he's a wonderful role model himself.
Players and other people affiliated with Westside Baseball heard about the racial slur, and Kelly has been taken off as a coach for a year and is no longer president of the board. Is that really enough, though?
Kelly's excuse was that he didn't realize he had used the n-word until it was posted and that he isn't racist -- he has black friends. There's no way he could have just used the word on accident if it wasn't a normal part of his vocabulary, and having black friends doesn't make one immune from being a racist.
Please tell Westside Baseball to fire John Kelly. A racist individual should not have an authority position, especially not one with kids.
Please fire John Kelly from Westside Baseball. After posting a rant about Whitney Houston on Facebook for everyone to see which included the n-word, he revealed his racist nature. A racist person should not have a position of authority, especially not one working with kids. Do what is right and remove him from your organization.
