Loyola University fires Female Negro Coach Sheryl Swoopes after investigating claims of player mistreatment - Fire a NEGRO???? I like their balls!

Loyola's lengthy investigation into allegations of player mistreatment by women's basketball coach Sheryl Swoopes ended Sunday evening with a three-sentence statement announcing Swoopes has been fired.

Swoopes, a Hall of Fame player regarded as one of the greatest to play the sport, had been under the microscope since April, when Loyola announced it had launched a university investigation after a rash of player transfers. The school later hired a law firm to assist with the investigation and interviewing of players.

Athletic director Steve Watson declined Sunday through a spokesperson to elaborate on how the decision was reached or what the school discovered during the investigation.

"Sheryl Swoopes is no longer serving as the women's basketball coach at Loyola University Chicago," Watson's statement read. "A search for her replacement will begin immediately. Loyola thanks Sheryl for her service to the women's basketball program."
