But since you weren't talking about sanctions, yes; I hate to break it to you, but if you want to be a human being, and live on this planet, you might have to deal with discrimination.
Not just one guy. The big mouth's coach defended him and said that language like that was common and acceptable. If the coach had taken a different action, the rest of the team might not have been affected. And regarding "deal with discrimination", that is exactly what they did, right?
