Duke football faces calls to suspend one of its players.
On Saturday, during Duke’s game against North Carolina, their safety Dashawn Stone lay motionless on the field after tackling Jaylen McGill.
Pretty serious injury for Duke safety Dashawn Stone. Stayed down after tackling Jaylen McGill. Looked like McGill’s knee might’ve hit his head on the play.
Whole Duke team went out to him as he’s walking off slowly. Brought the stretcher out but didn’t need it.

Stone’s teammate, Kimari Robinson, went to check on him. Robinson got too close to the medical staff, and a female staffer tried to gently push him back, prompting him to slap her hand away aggressively.
🚨🚨THIS IS INSANE🚨🚨
A DUKE FOOTBALL PLAYER SHOVED A FEMALE MEDICAL STAFF MEMBER’S ARM AWAY AS SHE RUSHED OVER TO HELP AN INJURED TEAMMATE.
The staffer immediately pulled back while two trainers continued treating the player on the field.
WOW 😳😳😳 https://t.co/hGxKwD2YCa

Fans are now calling on Robinson to be suspended.
Totally uncalled for. Suspend him. That’s not how you treat females!
