Utah college basketball players in Idaho for an NCAA Tournament switched hotels after being confronted with racial hate, the Associated Press reported. The players were going into a restaurant when a person driving a truck that was flying a Confederate flag began using insulting language, Utah coach Lynne Roberts revealed. When the players left the restaurant the same driver returned "reinforced by others" and they revved their engines and again yelled at the players.

... Roberts revealed what happened after Utah lost to Gonzaga in the second round of the NCAAs on Monday night. Roberts didn't go into detail but said there were several incidents that happened Thursday night after the team arrived in the Spokane, Washington, area for the tournament and were disturbing to the traveling party to the point there were concerns about safety.

Utah was staying about 30 miles away in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and was relocated to a different hotel on Friday.

"We had several instances of some kind of racial hate crimes toward our program and (it was) incredibly upsetting for all of us," Roberts said. "In our world, in athletics and in university settings, it's shocking. There's so much diversity on a college campus and so you're just not exposed to that very often." ...

Well that explains it.

Some of the most hardcore racists in America self-exiled to Idaho, after getting worked over in Georgia in the 90s.

Coeur d'Alene specifically was ground zero for the neo-nazi movement not very long ago.

You'd think a Utah team would be used to it.

"Utah team"

Only the coaching staff got to ride inside the bus, players had to ride on the top.

Ah the Covid Testing Theory!

Are they the ones chanting "from the river to the sea?"

I mean, it's ------, but the KKK didn't just come out and rape and murder a thousand or so people.

...But Hamas did, and "from the river to the sea" seems to be a concept accepted by mucha the progressive community.

That's super funny.

Not sure about where you live, but you're probably more likely to be tested for Tuberculosis than COVID where I live.

There's kind of a lot of baggage when it comes to COVID, and what many regions called for when one tested positive for COVID.

Best to seep that ---- under the rug...

You can test yourself for Covid for $20.

They have tuberculosis tests available over the counter at Walgreens now?

"I'm proud to sign this bill and ensure Idahoans are hired or accepted into college based on merit and hard work."

That sounds super racist to me...

What exactly happened? What proof is there? Why is minor non physical stuff done by one or two supposed idiots made into a big deal?

Yet people punched in face, cops shot by scum, or pushed onto subway tracks and or murdered and the perps race is not highlighted. Most of this stuff is always made up by crazed radicals like Jussie Smollett. The only time this ever really happens is when hacks are told to say it happens. I'd need to see it to believe it because Dems and the media have made me hyper cynical of everything in this regard. They have a history of fabricating false flags while consistently covering up the race and demographics of certain criminals. How many times are the actual victims of real urban crime asked what race was involved? Is a record kept of murders and by what race? Where is that published.

As they say keep taking about race all the time and that is what gives us racism.

Did you ask that question when fox news played the same video clip of 2 black panthers at a polling station on a loop for 10 years?
