An Alabama woman claims that she’s no longer allowed to be a volunteer cheerleading coach after she complained about the racist shirts being worn by the team’s assistant vice president, Brian McCracken, and his friend, Brian McDowell, WAFF’s Lauren Bale reports.
Former volunteer cheerleading coach Kayleigh Tipton said that she arrived at a practice of the Boaz youth cheerleaders only to find McCracken and McDowell sporting the racist t-shirts.
The team’s assistant vice president, McCracken, was wearing one that featured a robed member of the Ku Klux Klan in front of a burning cross, accompanied by the words “The Original Boys In The Hood.” His friend McDowell’s t-shirt was more direct — it read “White Pride.”
Tipton said she contacted Commissioner Kenny Jones, who said he “ended up taking care of the situation” by informing “the parents that they are no longer allowed to wear that type of shirt to any NAYF function.”
“We have zero tolerance for any kind of discriminatory apparel or anything,” Jones added.
