Yet the woke folk will go out of their way to condemn an alleged incident they know nothing about simply because someone said it was racism.

She should be more specific in her claims. Just looked at the roster and there are only 3 black players on the team. The rest are white. Was it black on white racism, or white on black? Of course, there's no reason for either but she needs to clarify what she's saying.

There are bigots in many places, so it's not that implausible. Spokane is just over the state line from Idaho, if that matters.

From the article...

South Dakota State and UC Irvine were staying in Idaho, too, with hotel space in Spokane limited.
If you're saying that the event shouldn't be hosted in Spokane because the city isn't able to handle an event of that size, that's a fair criticism. But I took what you said to mean that Spokane shouldn't host the event because of the racial climate in Coeur d'Alene, and I don't think that's fair.

Apparently fans started reporting other fans during games to help cut down on the issue.

Here is an article from one of their Allstate players who left to go to Cleveland.

Lol...who do those fans think they are making racist comments? That's the job of the commentators and players.

Well, if they knew it was coming back a second time.

People are so weak that this would affect them. I had far worse happen to me as a child and no one thought it was wrong. Oh no, someone called me a bad name. Whatever! I hope that what I have endured happens to more people. Maybe it will toughen people up.

Good point. Just walk by any group of teenagers that are standing around or walking and you’ll see a majority of have their phones out already. So we’re to believe that if the incident happened that not one person took a video? Sounds suspicious. Not saying it didn’t but certainly you would think someone would have taped part of it at least.

People are very good at finding things to be offended by. And by allowing it continue as we (as a society) are, it's only going to get worse.

She was probably jumped by the Osmonds.
