Klay Thompson Reacts to Racist Surf Incident in Florida: "So disgusting."
On Tuesday, reports of a racist surfing attack emerged from Jupiter, Florida.
A Black surfer had his surfboard stolen, then subsequently, it was nailed to a tree in an act of “racially motivated vandalism and a symbolic lynching of his board.”
Now, news of the incident has reached across the country to San Francisco.
Klay Thompson, small forward and shooting guard for the Golden State Warriors, caught wind of the racist incident in Florida, and he issued a statement via Instagram.
“I love the ocean. I love surfing. And seeing that lame ass shit in Jupiter Florida really pisses me off. Y’all surf nazis are a dying breed.
“So disgusting. Shame on all these people who allow this toxic behavior to permeate their communities. Amerikkka at its finest. SMH!”
