The University of Cincinnati is being urged to remove Marge Schott’s name from its baseball stadium over previous racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic statements she made in the past as controlling owner of the Cincinnati Reds. Cincinnati Bearcats pitcher Nathan Moore and former MLB All-Star Kevin Youkilis were among those calling for Schott’s name to be removed from the stadium. The Bearcats have played at Marge Schott Stadium since 2004, according to the official website. Schott was the controlling owner of the Reds from 1984 to 1999. She was forced to sell her majority ownership of the team over some of the racist and anti-Semitic language she used as owner.
