insulted if others hadn’t called attention to the slur. And if he did not know he’d been insulted, he would not have left the school. Or, if he did leave, he would have had to sit out a year.

An interesting twist, I guess.

Not intended to minimize the wrongness of the slur in the first place, nor the negative consequences the player experienced from the slur.

Somewhat outside of the point here, but I believe players should be permitted to transfer without any period of ineligibility.
