JMU star's dad fired for hurling racist slur at Republican governor candidate Winsome Earle-Sears during game
The father of a James Madison University football player has been fired from his job and suspended from attending athletics events at the school after being captured racially abusing a Republican governor candidate during his son's game.
In a shocking video which went viral on social media, the father in question - who has been identified as Democratic donor Scott Pogorelc - is seen hurling the vile racist insult towards Virginia hopeful and US Marine Corps veteran Winsome Earle-Sears as she stands near the stands at Bridgeforth Stadium.
Pogorelc appeared to shout at Earle-Sears while watching his son James in action for the James Madison Dukes: 'Go back to Haiti! Traitor!'
Internet sleuths were quick to name and shame the Dukes offensive lineman's dad, who worked as an engineer for Zeta Associates - a subsidiary of defense contractor Lockheed Martin. Public records also show that he has contributed financially to a number of Democratic campaigns in Virginia.
In a statement provided to the Daily Mail, Lockheed Martin has confirmed that Pogorelc is no longer employed by Zeta in light of the footage.
'We hold all of our employees and subsidiaries to the highest standards of integrity and professional conduct,' the company said. 'Any behavior that violates our Code of Ethics will be thoroughly investigated and employees found in violation will be held accountable.
