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.
The Monday report by The Daily Northwestern cited allegations from two former anonymous players and a former Latino offensive lineman who all played for the team in the late 2000s. “I didn’t feel like I could be anything other than White,” former player Ramon Diaz Jr. said, according to the paper. “We never felt like we could be ourselves. We had to fit in by being White or acting White or laughing at our own people.
” ‘Entirely unacceptable’ Diaz, the former Latino offensive lineman, said the impact of dealing with the culture of Northwestern’s football program has had a long lasting effect on him – he said he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after he left the school and now works as a clinical therapist according to The Daily Northwestern. “Diaz described several racist remarks players and coaches said to him.
