Even as his teammate, I thought it was clever and funny. We ended up winning.

Clever? Not really. Funny? Sure.

I had something happen a few weeks ago in a GV game. The road team had a number of Asian players. While the road team was handing the home team an a**-whipping, some of the students started making comments towards the visitors in mock Asian accents. My partner heard it, stopped the game and told GM. GM told the school safety officers what was going on and they cleared ALL of the home students out of the gym. The only spectators were fans of the road team.

Interestingly, some of the students involved were apparently members of the home school's BV team.
