And as for the "taking a stand" comments made earlier...good grief. Punishing the Coach/Team for the actions of a group of fans that the Coach has no immediate control over does not send a message, take a stand, make a point...you get the idea.

Having game mgt. remove the people doing the chant, and the school carry out further discipline sends a message to the ones actually involved in the chant...and according to the article, that is what has been done.

There it is.

I appreciate and admire those that take a stand, but be careful what motivates you. A technical foul is supposed to control behavior on the floor, not in the stands. If someone comes onto the floor, then fine, but if you want to take a stand against racism, file a report, and let the schools deal with this.

I understand Rut's contention that the words weren't "over the top," but what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If we're going to take a stand against racism for some, we have to do it for all. I'll stop here before I go on a Mister Señor Love Daddy rant.
