Northwestern football head coach Pat Fitzgerald is facing concerning allegations from former players. Ex-Northwestern players recently accused Fitzgerald of enabling blatant racism, per Nicole Markus, Alyce Brown, and Cole Reynolds of The Daily Northwestern.
“I didn’t feel like I could be anything other than white,” Ramon Diaz Jr, a Latino former player, said. “We never felt like we could be ourselves. We had to fit in by being white or acting white or laughing at our own people.”
