A shocking incident that isn’t getting much media attention, a black college football player sucker punched a white coach in the head during a football game over the weekend.
Ohio Valley Conference team Tennessee State University was playing the Southeastern Missouri Redhawks on Saturday when defensive lineman Latrelle Lee clocked the Tigers’ strength and conditioning coach twice.
The incident was captured on video:
Lee’s violent outburst led to his immediate dismissal from the team as well as his expulsion from the school – criminal charges could be coming soon as well.

The Nashville Tennessean reports “Tennessee State football player punches coach on the sideline, gets kicked off the team”:
Tennessee State defensive end Latrelle Lee was dismissed from the team and expelled from school Saturday night after he hit Tigers head strength coach T.J. Greenstone twice in the head and knocked him to the turf on the sideline.
TSU athletics director Teresa Phillips confirmed to The Tennessean that coach Rod Reed kicked Lee, a senior from Dothan, Ala., off the team.
Lee, 22, was expelled from the university on Monday.
The incident occurred during the Tigers’ game against Southeast Missouri at Hale Stadium. TSU won the game 23-20.
During games, Greenstone, a former Vanderbilt football player, is charged with keeping players who aren’t in the game from getting too close to the sideline to avoid a penalty.
The Tigers offense was on the field at the time as Greenstone walked down the sideline telling players to move back if they were too close. Lee is seen in videos hitting Greenstone twice on the side of his head.
Greenstone falls to the ground after being punched.
Lee, 6-foot-2, 240 pounds, was majoring in criminal justice. In 2016 he made the Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll.
It was an outrageously violent act that not only shows a lack of discipline from the player but one has to wonder whether it was racially motivated as well considering the heightened racial tensions in America thanks to the Democrats, militant identity groups like Black Lives Matter and a culture that glorifies bums like Colin Kaepernick.
Whatever the case may be, the media is staying away from this story despite its clearly being newsworthy.
That would not be the case if it was a white player punching out a black coach. Hypocrisy reigns.
