Grau/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images On Tuesday evening, Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith released a statement, stating that senior forward Kamil Sadlocha is returning home and will not practice or compete with the team for an unspecified period of time after Sadlocha directed racial slurs at Michigan Stateâs Jagger Joshua. Here is Smithâs statement: Overall, a strong statement from Ohio State; much better than the hastily thrown together word salad on Monday night. Though it seems as if some of the timing here can be called into question. While Smith states this process has gone on âover the past weekâ, that does not explain why Sadlocha dressed and participated in both of Ohio Stateâs games last weekendâsomething that seemed to be the tipping point for Joshua to share publicly what happened. Ohio Stateâs approach to this has seemed much more reactive than proactive, but it at least says something that the public outcry about the incident was enough that they felt that they did have to react to it.
