Racist Raptors ‘Fans’ Start Disgusting Petitions To ‘Send Pascal Siakam Back To Africa’
The defending champions, Toronto Raptors have been eliminated from the playoffs this past Thursday.
One of last year’s heroes, Pascal Siakam, faced most of the blaming for the exit, after having played subpar playoffs, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Siakam, who emerged as one of the breakthrough stars of the 2019-20 NBA season wasn’t himself ever since the season restarted in the Orlando Bubble, after a months-long coronavirus hiatus.
Spicy P averaged 16.9 points on 39.4% shooting in the bubble, down from his regular season average of 23.6 points on 45.9% shooting. But while criticizing his play and his performances on the court are tenable, what has happened now goes far, far beyond anything justifiable and is just purely disgusting in every single way.
Some racist ‘fans’ (let’s be honest, they’re not fans but only low-life inbred racists) have now started multiple petitions with the goal to send Siakam back to Africa. As if that wasn’t enough, and already enough racism, they even called him a gorilla.
They love you when you’re winning… but when you’re not, you’re the target of racists and racism.
This is a reminder that Pascal Siakam is a human being.

The petitions thankfully have been taken down by now, but if this wasn’t one of the most disgusting things you’ve read today, there’s something wrong with you and you’re part of the problem.
