Air Force coach spouts off on minorities
Advertisements [?]
Air Force football coach Fisher DeBerry, expressing frustration Tuesday with the Falcons' slumping performance, attributed the latest loss in part to No. 20 TCU's having more African-American players who "can run very, very well."

<snip>

Academy officials released a statement saying they were investigating.

DeBerry was forced last November to remove a banner in the team's locker room that read in part, "I am a member of Team Jesus Christ."
