Here's an example of how GM works around here. G F/JV doubleheader. During freshman game a woman yells at my partner that he and I are racists. That we are ignoring fouls on "whitey". He wasn't sure who said it. Between games I go to the AD and tell him what happened and that if I hear it again and can ID the woman I will expect her to be removed. He laughed and said he knew immediately who it was. Did he go over and say anything to her? Did he sit near her? Nope and nope

At the same school a couple of years ago, a V official was threatened during the game. When he tried to get GM to remove the fan both the AD and the deputy sheriff at first refused. (different AD). The official threatened to forfeit the game and that finally brought action.

BTW. This is not an inner city school but an integrated one lest you get the wrong idea.
