University of Cincinnati baseball players want the school to distance itself from Marge Schott. A number of Cincinnati alumni, including former major league All-Star Kevin Youkilis, have endorsed a petition to remove Schott’s name from the team’s baseball stadium.
The petition was started by former University of Cincinnati player Jordan Ramey, who urged the school to stop celebrating Schott.
“We have a responsibility to develop our kids for the future. Black kids should not be made to play and represent a name such as hers and white kids should not be celebrating her legacy subconsciously.
