After using the n-word in a conversation about “recent adjustments to the brand of professional sports companies,” an adjunct professor at Syracuse University’s College of Sport and Human Dynamics was given leave of absence.
Steven Warshaw was considering how groups like the NFL’s Washington Commanders, who were the Washington Redskins, have “less offensive” alterations made.
During the discussion, students in the” Managing the Sport Organization” class say Warshaw used hypothetical examples such as the” New York Jews” and” Chicago N- words”.
Students said Warshaw’s hypothetical “kinda just shook the whole class”, was” throw out ]… ] without any remorse”, and was not” justified” academically.
One scholar who requested anonymity claimed the racial slur “was the’ top’ of]Warshaw’s ] inappropriate conduct throughout the trimester”.
Another alleged Warshaw” continually made individuals uneasy”.
Shortly after the incident, Deans Jeremy Jordan and Chandice Haste-Jackson met with students and had a “great talk.” Kids were informed that for the rest of the quarter, they may have a unique professor for” Managing the Sport Organization.”
Warshaw ( pictured ), a 1981 graduate of Syracuse, is president of Universal Sports Marketing, according to his Linkedin page. He formerly held positions in marketing for various minor league baseball teams, and he formerly held the position of Pittsburgh Penguins, an executive Director of sales and marketing.
