CNN —The student newspaper for Northwestern University said at least three former students of its football program detailed what it described as a pattern of racism from coaches and players.
“I didn’t feel like I could be anything other than White,” former player Ramon Diaz Jr. said, according to the paper.
Northwestern University announced Monday it had fired longtime head football coach Pat Fitzgerald.
The move came after allegations of hazing within the Wildcats football program.
One teammate asked him why he didn’t play soccer instead of football,” The Daily Northwestern’s reporting said.
