Its unacceptable but Im wondering what the school could have done to stop that, assuming they aren't students. If they are students, you would need proof of identity. The players on Presb. were horrified as was the coach.

Get the police over there and get the rednecks out of there.  That’s what they could have done.  The home team could have got one of there coaches or some other rep of the school to go up there.

[b]Sounds like the home school tried to initially turn a blind eye, until they started hearing complaints[/b].  Typical white supremacist behavior.[/quote]

Where did you conclude that this was the response? They weren't in the stadium, but outside on a hill. I guess you want to paint the entire school as white supremacist? You are just as ignorant as the rednecks on the hill.

The game was in a hostile environment where anti-Black racist terroristic threats against the away team.  Idk any predominately Black school where white students or any other race of students would be forced to participate in an athletic event under these circumstances.

Not saying the entire school is “white supremacist”, but this particular white supremacist act was condoned.[/quote]

And everyone should know it happens on teams as well. Amhearst College issue was huge. The reality is lacrosse as a sport has work to do and it should start early. What should happen in youth, club or HS if the N word is thrown out. Typically, "they made a mistake", "bad judgement". Maybe a game suspension? Should they be removed from the team? Does it matter if COP are on the team? At what level of tolerance does it amount to complicity?

What was the context of these chants using the N-word?  If it was in a song they were "re-singing", it shouldn't be a big deal.
If the N-word is so controversial, NO ONE should be able to use it. Language is universal.  It belongs to everyone.[/quote]
