Georgia trainer Mark Taylor caught on video using n-word

Mother and father might need to suppose once more earlier than letting their little one prepare with Mark Taylor. Video has emerged of the Macon, Ga.-based sports activities coach causally utilizing the n-word — and utilizing racist/bigoted language.

One such video, recorded whereas driving, purportedly options the Warner Robins coach spewing racially insensitive rubbish about Atlanta’s Black inhabitants, together with calling a younger Black woman in a automotive subsequent to him a n*****, and saying that she’d be hung from a tree by somebody Taylor refers to as “Ro.”

Then, there’s video of Taylor, who exhibits off a holstered Glock close to his mattress, making a mock room service name requesting “y’all n*****s to convey me some rooster wings and two hoes. A redbone and a white woman.” Taylor ends the decision by saying that this mysterious “Ro” character will “in all probability throw her out the window when he’s performed together with her.”

Completely abhorrent language from any human being. The truth that he works with youngsters as younger as eight years previous makes this bigotry worse. Nevertheless, this explicit ex-convict ought to by no means have been allowed to work with youngsters.

Taylor has a prison document

Based on WMAZ-13 Macon, Taylor served time in jail within the late aughts. In 2007 he pleaded responsible to a felony cost of influencing a witness. At the moment he was working for the Houston County, Ga. college district as a trainer and coach at Northside Center Faculty. At one time Taylor was banished from Houston County for stalking his ex-fiancée, who was a trainer. A ban that was rescinded by the county per ABC 15 Macon.

I’m not going to touch upon his connections within the faculty soccer world, or the success of Velocity Edge Sports activities. The sports activities coaching business is filled with hustlers who present footage they took with coaches and gamers and declare to be buddies with them. Probably the most notable group that has gone as far as to challenge a press release publicly disassociating itself from Taylor, is the Christian Faculty in Macon, Ga. which allowed him to coach athletes on its grounds.

However to the mother and father on the market with youngsters who need to play aggressive sports activities, be thorough when researching who will probably be working with them. Don’t simply go to the corporate web site and Fb web page. Go somewhat deeper, particularly if the particular person is native. Discover out why he’s coaching privately as a substitute of teaching.

Some damning data is perhaps on the market that may stop a harmful resolution.
