– The Bishop John J. Synder High School baseball team was the 2022 3A District 2 champions. But now, the team is in the limelight for a different reason after alleged racist comments and threats on social media against its only Black player.Another reads,There is a discussion in the group about using the N-word, a racial slur predominately used toward African Americans and another discussion about threatening to break the African American player’s elbow.
“I think it was alarming to many of the people who were able to see that post last night they wanted it looked into,” Barney said. Barney says if the investigation finds fault, it could impact the team and the players’ futures goals. “So I think that schools are very aware of this, colleges are very aware of situations like this and they don’t want to be associated with that with an incoming person so commits on Bishop Snyder or other schools who were in similar situations I think you really have to police yourself and be weary of what you put on social media,” Barney added.We are aware of the picture and the related posts. I am working with JSO now to investigate the matter fully.
