I wouldn't have had any idea what it meant. I don't like it when the cheerleaders yell "Miss it" myself, but apparently that is acceptable.

I realize that. But I'm saying I don't even like this lesser version, so yes I agree that any kind of racial angle, no matter how obscure, is unacceptable. I would not have recognized this as such.

Same feeling I had a few years back when I observed a game and the losing student section chanted, "You're still white trash." Sadly, the officials that day didn't do anything.

But whacking the crowd doesn't penalize the crowd, it penalizes the team. I really don't see why this one is in the books, but it does have the disclaimer. Care should be used not to unfairly penalize the players for the actions of others............ or something like that. Where is that?

IMO, cheerleaders are as much a part of the game as the players themselves, and should therefore be respectful. If I heard them yelling "miss it", or whatever, I'd have a chat with the head coach of the school, and tell him/her to get with the cheerleading coach and cut it out.
As for the crowd, they can yelling "miss it" all they want, but when the get racial like in the OP then I'm going to step in and make sure it stops immediately. I wouldn't penalize the team by giving them a tech, though. That doesn't seem right to me.

I'm not smart enough to make the connection from slurpee to owning a 7-11. I don't think I would have noticed. Am I the only one?

One needs to decide what one stands for in life. This is HS sports in which we open every game by addressing sporting behavior with the coaches and captains.
I really wouldn't feel one bit bad about penalizing a school's team for a racist chant from it's student section. The only thing which would send a stronger message would be to stop and forfeit the contest. That is what is happening in European soccer matches when the crowd gets racial with the players. Sports is a part of life with one of several purposes being to teach people about how to interact with others. Think about the reason behind having the modern Olympic Games. I have decided to put the principles of character and civil behavior above the competitive aspects of a sporting contest. In the grand scheme, the game and any penalties suffered within it are secondary to the life lessons taken from it.
