White Kansas coach fired after using N-word toward Black player. A white baseball coach in Olathe, Kansas was fired on Monday (May 10) after using the N-word toward a Black player. Pete Flood, the head baseball coach at Olathe North High School, claims he was describing rap music when he used the racist slur and not the student-athlete. Flood claimed the student, who is reportedly the only Black player on the team, was playing rap music during batting practice when he made the comment. Tony Banks, the teen’s father, said the coach told his son, “We don’t play that ni**er music over here. We only play country and rock music.”
