Watching women’s basketball explode in popularity in real time is crazy. Just this week I’ve seen more women’s hoops threads than I have my entire time here.

Not trying to give you any shite. Just something I’ve noticed.

In a time where snapping photos or taking videos of something has never been easier, these things just seem to never have any evidence to go with it

The specifics are out there
quote:

On Thursday night, the basketball team — along with members of the band and cheerleading team — gathered together at a restaurant for a dinner to celebrate the season. While walking to the restaurant, a white truck got near the team, revved its engines to make its presence known, and then yelled the N-word toward the team before speeding off.

quote:

"We all just were in shock, and we looked at each other like, did we just hear that? ... Everybody was in shock — our cheerleaders, our students that were in that area that heard it clearly were just frozen," Utah deputy athletics director Charmelle Green, who is Black, told KSL.com. "We kept walking, just shaking our heads, like I can't believe that."

quote:

The team carried on with its dinner, but two hours later were met with a similar situation as they started to leave the restaurant. This time, though, two trucks were present, revving their engines and making a lot of noise in an intimidating way, while yelling the N-word again to those present.

I dont understand why they never say what specifically happened.

I give it a couple weeks before it comes out that either this didnt happen or it was a "misunderstanding" from an entitled player provoking an employee.

We know there's crimes, but we can't tell you what they are?

Look even if this did happen, do we really have to write articles on it and hold press conferences? Yea it’s stupid af if true, but come on. If you really want shite like this to stop then where is the video of these incidents to call the people out for doing them?

A friend of mine was bass fishing on one of the local lakes with a black guy he worked with. They were trolling along the bank when a boat, running pretty fast, was headed down the middle of the lake. The dude in the front turned around and yelled at the dude in the back “ Hey, look at that white guy fishing with that n…….r!

The dude was probably too stupid to realize that everyone on the lake heard it but he probably didn’t care one way or another.

It could have been some dude just commenting loudly about something he rarely sees up there over the revving engine. Oh well, most of us have done things we aren’t particularly proud of.

All these young students and not a single one pulled out a cell phone and recorded it? Yeah, unless they produce a video I am not buying. I could see some random redneck doing this shite if he ran across them, but then he left and brought friends back to continue the verbal attack? Yeah this is 2024 not 1965 Mississippi.

Reporter on the news just now “it’s 2024 and it feels like the 60s”…. I mean really guy? I’d maybe ask some of your elders about the racism they actually faced vs. someone possibly shouting a slur from their car and having the whole state trip over themselves to apologize for it.
