Proposed name change of controversy section from "Racism Controversy" to "Social Media controversy"
While he called Dustin Fox a "cracker", I think the bigger theme is he threatened both Fox and several fans on social media and race was only involved in one instance while violence was included in all of his posts. Best,

The incident certainly doesn't belong in the lede unless and until there is evidence that it has had a significant effect on his career. And neither does it merit coverage in two different sections in the article body. Further, per
WP:BLP sensationalist wording as present in the Browns section isn't merited at all.

he got released the day after and is unlikely to be picked up due to his racist conduct. that is evidence enough of a significant effect on career.

The vast majority of sources about the controversy (Including
Fox News,
CBS News and
ESPN) focus more on the fact that he threatened multiple people. And, as stated above, race was only involved with Fox. Even with Fox, he didn't threaten him because he was white but because Fox criticized his play. Best,

it most certainly does. racism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.. Jermaine, at the very least, has shown prejudice and antagonism towards Fox for his race. Also, why are people who obviously know how to use the talk page use IP addresses instead of accounts. I hope you're not IP hoping.

I have already explained why I am commenting here - due to the thread on WP:ANI, where the article was mentioned. I suggest that rather than throwing around further baseless accusations of socking, you either stick to the subject, or take your allegations to WP:ANI. You would do well to respond there anyway, since things aren't exactly looking good for you.
As for basing things on sources, yes we do. Which is why I pointed out that of the sources cited, only one mentioned racism. If there are more, they need to be linked here, so a proper judgement can be made as to what section title is merited. And then maybe we can reach a consensus.
