On Monday, it was announced that former Texas A&M LB Santino Marchiol, who recently leveled some serious allegations against Jimbo Fisher and his A&M staff, had been kicked off the Arizona squad.

The dismissal was reportedly due to a video that surfaced last week that seemed to depict Marchiol referring to his black A&M teammates as “monkeys.”

Thomas Mars, Marchiol’s attorney for the A&M allegations, released a statement on Monday to ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg, saying he respects Arizona’s decision to dismiss his client:

“As someone who helped lead the effort to advance diversity in the legal profession … I understand and respect the University’s decision. On the other hand, as someone who’s grown close to Santino and who knows the quality of his character, the depth of his faith, and the sincerity of his convictions, I’m heartbroken. What can be heard on the highlights video doesn’t reflect the values or beliefs of the young man that I’ve come to know.”

Obviously, it was a bad look for Marchiol, especially as he tries to further his case against his former team.
