I'm pretty sure the team alleging the racist behavior was Utah State, not Univisity of Utah. The media is not helping their credibility.
Notice how quickly the fake story faded!
Is this a another Smollett moment? With all those phones among the players, not one video. Is revving your engine and yelling racial slurs a crime in Idaho? Were the players to drunk to play the next day and needed an excuse? It’s been 3 weeks any updates or videos or charges yet?
Utah is bunch of racist bigots.
What did they expect? It’s Idaho! One of the most racists states in the country. Also, what the hell is in Idaho other than potatoes?
Calling someone a name is not a crime, nor is waving a flag…..this is a dog and pony show because even if they find the person who correctly identified the n-words there is absolutely zero they can do about it.
Every other word out of a black's mouth is "nigguh" but when a White person says it the cops get involved. This is truly clown world. Welcome to the age of stupid.
There was a hoax in Idaho just last
year, a Hispanic gang wrote “white power” on a high school wall. Lots of lib indignation, until gang admitted they did it. Story evaporated.
Love it that the lunatics in America think it’s a “FREE “ country! It’s the most racist, uneducated, ill-informed, insular and ignorant country in the world! And to think they shout from the top of their lungs “land of the free “! 😂😂😂😂Prized pratts! This is what happens when you lag behind in education! What a sad state of affairs! The world definitely should feel sorry for your citizens 🙏🙏

Oh booo hoooo! Your story is BS! Get out of Idaho!
This country is disgusting 🤢
100% HOAX! Lynne Roberts The Smollett of women's BB.
Still no video.
will the fake enthusiasm & giggle happy talk promotion by the lesbians at abc ever stop? Nobody wants your small ball hoisted from nipple level due to lack of arm strength from the handicap 3 point line defended by Stephanie or Brittany.
ABC should be ashamed of themselves reporting this garbage. Not one bit of evidence – cell phone video – surveillance video – a $10,000 reward offered by the local republican party and still nothing….
Lifted truck, Confederate flag, Idaho, racist
No surprise😅
been several days now….where are the multiple videos of this incident?…100 people at least and most of them young with their phones in their hands…..where are the videos?…..this couldn't have been an embellished incident could it?….this coach three the refs under the bus, the fans, the hotel placement( a luxury hotel btw) and then throws in this "racial" business……sounds to me like she wanted excuses for losing…..again, people should not be intimidating others thru hate but people can not expect everyone to like you…
I am of Romani descent we have a lot more in common with white people then blacks in case you’re wondering, we both like trucks and we both have European lineage so I can tell you this much it’s not just white people in the northwest that don’t like blacks it’s actually a majority of the Pacific Northwest even non-whites such as gypsies, Asians, Arabs, Hispanics, and African born Africans don’t like Black people because of their behavior I literally had Africans such as Ethiopians and Nigerians. Tell me how much they hate Americans Black people and they don’t want to be compared to them which I can’t blame them
As a person who was born in the Pacific Northwest, I could tell you that we do not care for Black people here Don’t let other people fool you and think that we’re a progressive part of the country we are very conservative and we do not like being around unruly and disrespectful Black people I am of gypsy descent and I dealt with many other cultures, such as whites, Asians, Indians, Arabs, and etc. and I can tell you a lot of them. Don’t want to be around Black people it’s not just white people who have a distrust and Black people it’s everybody else we don’t want to be around Black people I even dealt with Africans from Africa and they don’t wanna be around their American counterparts because of the way they are
Your team is sh!t, so you have a "wealthy donor" make this up..👏 why aren't there any videos, any comments from thw actual players? They're not children. They're grown.
I’ll take Things That Never Happened for $500, Alex.
Confederate flags being waved as some sort of badge of honor in 2024? Enough said.
I can remember being a student at a large, west Texas Univ. in the early 2000s as a Black student and getting the "hate" treatment. It's no fun. Coming from a major city, I was appalled at the level of hatred and ignorance that was inside SOME people in that small town. I know it's wrong, but I avoid rural communities to this day because of my experiences.
Idaho is nothing but racist. The Police in Boise even promote the abuse, and will target you.
Oh that's bullshit. These butches are just complaining , trying to get a possible settlement.
There are 12 state wide hate groups in Idaho. I can see this happening in Idaho and Washington. Being on a college campus is different than staying at a hotel.
Receipts?
people say the nword in middle school basketball games in southern Illinois. MAGA gone crazy.
Young people record everything ~ where is the video of it happening?
If you can revv while driving, It's probably a manual. I don't doubt the slurs were thrown in their direction.
And then they yelled, "This is Maga country!" 🙄
A whole investigation for this? It was just some big mouth idiots. Who cares?
I find it absolutely hilarious that the last 500 times I’ve heard the most offensive word uttered, I heard it from an African American. But as soon as anyone else does, it’s in the news. This is precisely what racism is. Not the word itself, but that only one race can use it, without people getting mad. Now, I’m gonna take my white butt into the kitchen and eat a Cracker….
literally half of their team is white girls. So its racist hate against them too, somehow? Maybe they just hate girls basketball?
They say the Confederate flag is not a sign of racism. I disagree!
Ok you dipshits are downplaying this and claiming this as suspicious? You're the racists here if you don't stand with those girls.
This happens all the time and every year whenever blacks students visit predominantly white schools and there are plenty of videos online capturing the white kids racist behaviors … Funny how all these white adults think their kids would never do such thing when the kids grew watching what they did to the US Capitol and various State Houses around the nation on Jan 6th … It's learned behavior
Idaho just can’t seem to catch up to the new world! Don’t say,”this is not who we are”! Because it’s exactly who you are! Your people are raising racism! It’s in your streets, buildings, restaurants & SCHOOLS! STOP RACISM!
I'd really like to see the evidence of this.
Who wants to bet that they are trying to pull a Jussie Smollett.
Revving their engines is a serious threat? … oh my. Lifted pickup truck? Confederate flag? But I was told racism is over and its just southern pride. …
i believe it, but most of these girls are white in the first place. What kinda dumbasses would yell the n word from a moving vehicle at a group that's 80 percent white on two instances? Idaho must just have zero minorities in that area cause that's dumb. Also i get that it's upsetting, but this isn't a big enough deal to be everywhere rn. Talk about something else
Oh noooo 😱
