Police in Moline, Illinois are investigating a video that went viral on social media and allegedly shows a Black high school football player being pressured to sit in a locker room near banana peels.
The incident reportedly happened at Moline High School on a Thursday night. In the 11 second clip, a teammate can be heard telling the student to sit down and threatening him. The student eventually sits while others in the room cheer. The student has not been publicly identified.
Police Chief Darren Gault said the teammates involved were of both different and similar races to the student. According to the Daily Mail, he also described the scene as disturbing and racist. Gault said the players involved have been identified and are friends.
Because the students involved are minors, Baller Alert is not naming anyone. The investigation is ongoing.
