And I dont know where you got that I assumed such. If they had done it, I woulda called them out.
Talk about disingenuous.

Student Athlete Sues For Body Shaming By Coaches Who Took Her Scholarship Over "Sexy" Photos

A Black University of Cincinnati student says she was body shamed over her Instagram photos and lost her athletic scholarship after two white female coaches stalked her timeline.
Shalom Ifeanyi filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court last Tuesday, according to Yahoo, claiming that two women’s volleyball coaches harassed and shamed her about the pics on her social media account. They dismissed her from the team because of photos that were “too sexy” Ifeanyi alleges.
Former coach Molly Alvey and executive senior associate athletic director Maggie McKinley are named in the lawsuit as defendants.
-Basis of claim-
Ifeanyi, 19, says that she was hounded by Alvey and is suing for racial discrimination and sexual discrimination in the suit. She said that she was singled out about her pics and complied several times when Alvey asked her to remove the so-called sexy pics.
“Upon information and belief, no such requests were made to other members of the women’s volleyball team who were of slighter build and lighter complexion despite photographs picturing them in outfits, including but not limited to, two-piece swimsuits,” the lawsuit states.
Even though Ifeanyi took down photos that Alvey said were offensive, she said the coach continued to scan her Instagram timeline and pick her photos apart. She said when she instead uploaded a conservative headshot after taking down the other pictures, it still wasn’t enough for Alvey.
“When the football players see this, what do you think they see?” the coach allegedly told her. “They see your breasts. It’s seductive.”
-Enough is enough-
Ifeanyi ultimately got frustrated with Alvey’s constant demands and refused to comply saying she was frustrated over the “body shaming.”
Ifeanyi was later kicked off the team after Alvey and McKinley met to discuss the matter. They cited there were “different philosophies” that aided their decision to dismiss Ifeanyi from the team.
Now Ifeanyi says she’s been negatively affected because she can’t secure a new scholarship as a transfer student at a new school since NCAA transfer rules state that she can’t play competitively for a year after she transfers. Ifeanyi has left the University of Cincinnati.
Her lawsuit is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, among other legal costs and fees.
After filing a Title IX claim some nine months ago, Ifeanyi says an investigation has not been completed.
A spokesman for the University of Cincinnati’s athletic department, told Yahoo that he was “unable to comment on the allegations.”
“We feel that the lawsuit speaks for itself and do not have any additional comments at this time,” her lawyer, Ryan McGraw, said.
Ifeanyi on the other hand wants compensation for “pain and suffering in the form of humiliation, frustration, aggravation, anger, and depression.”

I wonder what would have happened if she unfriended them and/ or made her account private.
A teammate might have gave the coach access....who knows

That coward has all kinds of violations on his hands outside of harassing people. Can't smoke in public as a police officer in PA, can't claim tresspassing on a public place (loitering but not trespassing) and just threw the handcuffs out without reading rights.

its all about who you choose to pay attention to growing up
im sorry, i just cant rock with the “black boys need black men” narrative. hate hearing it because i know single mothers that wont even TRY to teach their son certain things because that slogan has them waiting on a man to teach him.

perhaps that is the case...but as the data in this article points out, just the presence of positive male figures in black neighborhoods seems to improve outcomes for young black boys...

the presence is already there.
barbershops exist
mailmen exist
plumbers
electricians
teachers
firemen
business owners
etc.
positive male role models are everywhere, its all in who you choose to pay attention to
when dudes get older and their life is messed up they love saying they never had an example or no one told them
people told them, they didnt listen
examples were there, they ignored them

sure, but then there is the question of access, availability, interaction, & visibility...obviously people get of a certain age & make their own decisions, so it doesn't absolve people of certain amount of personal responsibility...
in principle i would agree that such men exist (even moreso if one broadens their model to all men, not just those whom share a certain phenotype) everywhere and we need many more ways of addressing the underlying issue of having created a society with worldview, that is by all appearances, so hostile to people of color generally & black men specifically but i think in the interim i do think having a guys around who interact in positive ways to provide different models of how to 'be' and unfortunately cope with such a world is a good thing...

I agree
And get what ur saying
But it’s not as black and white as ur making it
U can have the presence of a father figure
Doesn’t mean that’s the one u should look up to
Know plenty of well off
Good jobs dudes
Who ain’t ****
