Five members of the University of Southern Mississippi pep band have had their scholarships revoked and have been removed from the band after they yelled a derogatory chant at a Puerto Rican player during an NCAA basketball tournament game last week.

I don't feel bad for them. The fans are thee fans, but the band knows they're supposed to play it cool. They knew the rules and they broke them.

Sucks for those 5 students, but as university representatives on a school sponsored trip, I am not too surprised.
Curious as to how they identified those specific 5 as the ones that chanted it.

Yeah, when you embarrass the people who are paying for your education and paying for the trip you're currently on, and it's caught on national tv, you run the risk of having those people stop paying for your education and future trips. Makes sense to me, brother!

I'm all for free speech, and this sounds hypocritical, but frick hate speech. I don't think you should be arrested for it or anything, but it disgusts me down to the core. Its one thing to joke, but when its intended to hurt, its bullshite. I hate the excuses people use, such as its only for the lower segment of society/criminals and such. No, there are morons who need to die in a fricking fire. There is no place for that in society today, or ever.
