131. “I’m Your New Hitler…” He Said What?

Jason Brown, the coach of the Independence Community College featured on season three of Netflix’sLast Chance U,” recently resigned from the position. Brown’s resignation comes on the heels of his text message to a player, in which he said the following: “I am your new Hitler.”

The player Brown sent the text to Alexandros Alexiou, a German native. In an exchange with Alexiou, Brown told the freshman he had 17 disciplinary points out of the 25 you’re allowed before getting kicked off the team. 

“410pm on field u German f—,” Brown texted Alexiou in an exchange Alexiou posted on social media. “u have 17 points toward your 25 points … u got an extra point for not hanging the lion poster as instructed I’m your new Hitler figure out your life.”

To all my fans, supporters, both past and present players, and coaches, please read the following letter that I have posted and please respect my decision. Much love to you all, W.I.N. FOREVER! Once a Pirate always a Pirate! #DREAMU pic.twitter.com/M88TcQKvDQ
