Blatant Discrimination or Were They Pulling Tigger's Tale?

Four Florida State football commitments were kicked off of Walt Disney property over the weekend in Orlando, Florida. Five future players were at Downtown Disney when they were asked to move on and stop loitering late Saturday evening. All but one chose not to listen to security and stayed where they were. Later on in the night security came back by and escorted the four remaining teens off the property after banning them officially as well as finger printing each future Seminole.

All four individuals involved were black and one of the future Noles' father is a civil rights lawyer so Mickey Mouse better get his own lawyer because there is a good chance Jesse Jackson is coming to throw down in O-Town soon. To add fuel to the fire the future Noles' claim that 45 of the 46 people banned from Disney property this weekend were either black or Puerto Rican. For the purposes of full disclosure it should be noted that Puerto Rico is not good enough to be a state or a country, the U.S. owns it like Doug Brown owns his dog Peyton.

So far the news that has come out has been pretty one sided for the players but we are interested to see what Disney says these diabolical loiterers were doing. Rivals' FSU affiliate WarChant.com spent much of the day Wednesday trying to cover up the incident by monitoring their message boards to make sure little to nothing was posted on the subject. I don't think they need to worry about a clean image, FSU hasn't had that since the seventies anyway.
