Is this not a game management issue?
If so, "WWYD" wouldn't seem to apply to me as an official beyond what's expressed in 2-8-1 NOTE.
Sound right?

I'm addressing it with game mgmt. If it happens again, I'm strongly suggesting that someone needs to leave the premises.

In the case, it appears the primary offender was escorted out immediately.

Agreed. I'm not putting up with this. It stops immediately, or the entire section may be removed.

I am on board with this method 100%. If it doesn't stop immediately-clear out ALL involved with the chant, not just the leader.

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.

In addition, I'm whacking the crowd for this. Some behavior is too extreme to go without penalty. Racism falls in that category.

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.
