Appalachian State tennis player Spencer Brown, has been suspended after telling John Wilson IV, a student at North Carolina A&T, “At least I know my dad,” during a match, The New York Post reports. Wilson accused Brown of making other racially inflammatory remarks as well.

The A&T player said, on Twitter, that he approached Appalachian State's coach about the slight, only to receive a less-than-satisfactory response. 



Black Twitter responded quickly to Wilson's request with shows of support and of outrage:


















Appalachian State Athletics posted a statement on their Twitter page this morning, apologizing for Brown’s conduct, and confirming that he is "suspended indefinitely from the team, effective immediately."
