Let's take a look at some racism that should be in the article.

Take the 2023 Women's Final Four for example. Prior to South Carolina's matchup against Iowa, Hawkeyes' head coach Lisa Bluder said that trying to out-rebound the Gamecocks was like "going to a bar fight."
Those of us living in reality and possessing common sense recognize Bluder's comment not only as a commonly used phrase, but a compliment towards South Carolina.
Staley didn't see it that way, she essentially accused Bluder of being racist while inserting her own race-based agenda by blaming some media narrative she made up in her own head.
"We’re not bar fighters,” Staley said after the Gamecocks' loss to the Hawkeyes. “We’re not thugs. We’re not monkeys. We’re not street fighters.
“Some of the people in the media, when you’re gathering in public, you’re saying things about our team and you’re being heard, and it’s being brought back to me,” Staley continued.
quote:
She went even further: “I stand by our fans. I stand by what they represent. I stand by how they cheer. I stand by every single thing that they bring to the building because it’s appropriate and well within game rules.” (Emphasis added)
Either the use of a slur aimed at players is a serious accusation or it is not. Staley treated Richardson’s claim as a five-alarm fire despite no witnesses verifying the claim and camera and audio footage effectively disproving the accusations. When South Carolina fans were accused of the same (and worse), Staley simply declared that it didn’t matter. She stood by “every single thing that they bring to the building.”
Staley didn’t make this decision because of the “well-being of her team.” She canceled the games because it would give her good publicity from media figures who believe racism is everywhere in America (and fall for every racial hoax in the process). She is peddling toxic racial politics and dividing people based on race and, to top it all off, she is a hypocrite.

Dawn Staley has come to the defense of the 'black and brown skinned women' who officiated the women's college basketball championship last spring - and some fans aren't happy.
After LSU defeated Iowa in the final last April, the NCAA reviewed the game's dubious officiating and found that the performance was in fact lower than previous years.
Staley took to X to respond to the results of the review, and said she did not want it to keep those officials from other prominent assignments in the future.
'So the independent review was done under anonymity but it is known who the officials were….all black and brown skinned women,' she wrote. Now that they're thrown under the bus let's not run them over.'

How about when Dawn canceled her team's game at BYU after a Duke volleyball player claimed she was subject to multiple racial slurs against her during a game at BYU? A week later the story was proven 100% false after all video and audio was thoroughly reviewed, but no comment from Dawn.

Staley twisted Bluder’s words. Staley is so despicable. Bluder never called her players monkeys nor thugs. She said the play as though they were in a bar fight. Newsflash for Staley, that has nothing to do with your players’ race. Staley is playing the race card rather than recognizing it as a comment about her team’s character. Bluder is implying that South Carolina’s style is inappropriately physical, but that’s not a racist comment.

There aren’t many people more insufferable than Dawn Staley

It's very difficult for a Trump Worshipper to call a Black Person a Racist isn't it?
