GUYS PLEASE READ THIS AND READ THIS CAREFULLY. THIS IS SO APPALLING. She literally has a medical freaking condition that could KILL her and they aren’t allowing her to accommodate for it. They can just admit that they’re just tired of this unstoppable black woman dominating and want her to be forced to retire or they want her to get seriously injured/sick.
