WVU QB Pat White
White stirred up a [censored]storm with his reported comments about not being able to play on the 'Neers basball team because of his race.

Pat White drops a bomb instead of throwing one
NEWPORT, R.I. -- Pat White seemed a bit surly on Tuesday but sometimes that's Pat White.
West Virginia's quarterback can be moody at times. That's OK, it's a rough world. The question seems to be, what does he have to be moody about? White has thrived in Rich Rodriguez' offense to the point that he is 784 yards away from being the all-time leading rusher among quarterbacks. He is a Heisman candidate, the heart and soul of the Mountaineers.
New coach Bill Stewart spent part of Tuesday's Big East media day talking White up as an NFL prospect. Stewart wanted his quarterback to play baseball this spring just to see his athleticism in a different sport. Stewart said White told him he couldn't hit the curve ball. White then told reporters a different reason.
"In my knowledge of West Virginia baseball, there's not been many players of my race on his team," White was quoted as saying of baseball coach Greg Van Zant. "He's not too high on it."
I spoke to White and some of his teammates during the media day. I wasn't there when White spoke those words. The closest he came was when I asked him about playing baseball White said, "I couldn't play for West Virginia." Later, though, another reporter did mention the incendiary comments to me. How do you treat something like that when you haven't heard it yourself? It's like handling hot coals. Everyone can be burned.
Cont'd ...

OK, OK
That was way over the line, I know. Completely unacceptable...

Doesn't sound like he even talked to the coach about trying out for the team. Maybe he's too racist to play with an all-white team.
Then again, maybe he really can't hit the curveball!
Either way--- 
An MLB player was complaining recently about the lack of black players in the majors. I can't remember who it was. Maybe it was an old-timer. |
