Hanna Strong, a senior midfielder on the Syracuse women’s soccer team, was videotaped calling another person a “f*ggot-a** n*gger” in a video that was posted on Instagram and later on blacksportsonline.com on Saturday.

A student who witnessed Strong’s outburst confirmed that it was her in the video.

Strong has been suspended indefinitely from the team by head coach Phil Wheddon, according to a release from Director of Athletics Daryl Gross, who also said an investigation will follow.

“We are aware of the offensive comments made last night by a member of the women’s soccer team,” Gross said in the statement. “This type of intolerant and hurtful language, focused on both race and sexual orientation, is not part of the culture we seek to foster among our student-athletes and it has no place at Syracuse University.”

The video starts with Strong approaching an unidentified person holding the camera, instructing him or her not to record the video.

“Call me out on saying the N word, I don’t give a sh*t,” Strong said after her tirade.

Strong has played in all five of SU’s games this season, but has yet to record a shot. She missed all of last season due to injury but was on the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll for both semesters.

Said Gross: “Syracuse Athletics, as a strong and diverse part of this University community, has zero tolerance for these actions.”



A black guy defends her via Twitter smh
Hannah Strong hangs around nothin but black people. She probably felt comfortable with sayin that @ the time. The guy she mess with is blac K€0n L¥n (@KeonLyn8)

 

Where are all the "nigga is just a word" people to defend this fuckery?

 

mofos always make excuses

 

Sounds like a real hoosier to me.

 

aren't hoosiers from Indiana?

 

Punk bitch needs her ass whooped and who's the coon ass nigga that is defending her? He needs his ass whooped too!

 

Damn.

 

I don't know what's worse, the situation that happened or the fact that I'm not surprised this did happen.

 

But I thought "nigga" Was hip-hop slang that anybody can say?

 

The term nigga is not a hip-hop term, "nigga" has been used in the Black community long before hip-hop.

 

It is still a bad word no matter if its spelled with a a or r. A term of "endearment" in question because you don't know who is friend or foe. As long as racists use that word like a assault weapon it can't be redeemed.

 

It all depends on the context of the word.

 

you cant put sugar on shit and call it a brownie

 

I was all set to defend her until hearing how she said it. I can tell by the context of how she said it that its not a word she's comfortable with which leads me to believe its not part of her everyday vernacular which then leads me to believe it was meant as a racist ass insult.
There are other people who can say the same exact thing and you know it has nothing to do with race or even sexual orientation.
I can picture a bunch of Hispanic dudes in Spanish Harlem saying the same thing and it would mean you punk bitch nothing more

 

Sorry, that's true, but in the lower midwest where I was raised, it's also used as a derogatory term for an ignorant urban version of a redneck.

Yeah, it's all contextual and her tone says it all.

 

Every day since I learned about Austrailia having a law against offensive comments, I have wished more and for freedom of speech to be repealed to have this offensive language placed in.
