Basketball star Asia Todd is leaving Liberty University after the school’s president, Jerry Falwell Jr., tweeted out a photo of blackface and the Ku Klux Klan.
Speaking with ABC11, Todd, who is Black, says she’s entering the transfer portal because she can no longer play for Liberty University’s girls basketball team while Falwell Jr. still holds the position.
Todd said her decision was reached after many conversations and prayers with her family, coaches and teammates at Liberty.
Several Black pastors, religious leaders and Liberty alumni have asked for Fallwell Jr. to apologize, but for To Todd this goes way past an “I’m sorry.”
Asia Todd started 25 games for the Liberty University Flames during her freshman year.
