ARC: Utah women's basketball coach says team endured racism at hotel during NCAA Tournament
Utah coach Lynne Roberts said her team experienced a series of “racial hate crimes” after arriving at its first NCAA Tournament hotel and was forced to change hotels during the event for safety concerns.
Roberts revealed what happened after Utah lost to Gonzaga in the second round of the NCAAs on Monday night. Roberts didn’t go into detail but said there were several incidents that happened last Thursday night after the team arrived in the area for the tournament and were disturbing to the traveling party to the point there were concerns about safety.
Utah was staying about 30 miles away in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and was relocated to a different hotel on Friday.
“We had several instances of some kind of racial hate crimes toward our program and (it was) incredibly upsetting for all of us,” Roberts said. “In our world, in athletics and in university settings, it’s shocking. There’s so much diversity on a college campus and so you’re just not exposed to that very often.”

That many college girls and no cell video footage....
Cell phones EVERYWHERE but not a single video.
I love it when they interview these dreamy students living in a dream world LOL😅
What is up with the happy cheery music in the background?
No proof ?
Commenters the one who done it.
I’ll be looking forward to seeing the video .
This is Amerikkka! This should surprise no one!
TRUE!!!!!!!
Yea all this since 2020. Things like this didn’t happen like it’s happening now. Democrats started this crap. And I can tell you….go dump a 1000 black people or white people down in just about any country that isn’t either of those 2 races (Japan for example) and you will understand how not racist America truly is. But be my guest…get to stepping if you think you would do better elsewhere.
And look at what’s reporting the story! Keep up the good work idaho!
With modern technology the truck will appear🤷♂️
Does anyone really believe this?
Yes

@@realdeal5475 Is asking for proof of an outlandish claim isn't racist.
@@Manospondylus a whole Utah university women’s basketball team said it happened.. Not only blacks but whites male and female.. so why would anyone need more evidence? To try to discredit those that it happened to and to justify the racism.. how you don’t get that
It’s not outlandish. I live in cda and it’s a very racist area.
@@realdeal5475ok whatever you say 😂

Bull Hockey
What’s wrong with America.Absolutely Shocking Racism. 😂😂😂😂
where is the video?...the police report?...this coach is just mad because she didn't win...first she blames the lack of fouls called on the other team, then wonders why they were sent to a top notch resort hotel in a vacation city(mulitple tournaments going on) and then is mad about somebody yelling at them and reving their engines....all too convenient....I want to see the proof....and if someone was yelling at them and reving their engines, so what?...
Top notch 😂 you outted yourself you don't know what speak of at all ...if that's a hint , no wonder you can't wrap head around 100+ people giving same story ...let me guess you think A.Nation moved out after lost their club house ... convenient how little brain you have .
Sure that really happened. 🙄🐂💩
It happens all the time in cda.
Here is what ppl are thinking but not saying out loud “you guys hear N word all day when you put on headphones listening to rap songs…but this hurt your feelings?”
Why my people even react to the word "NIGGER" is because most do not know the original definition of that word. At 70 years old I looked the word up many years ago. The original definition WAS, " a person whom is LAZY and SHIFLESS ". Years later someone said " wait a minute, if I am sitting on the porch sucking up lemonade and dark people are picking my cotton then I AM THE NIGGER" !!!. Let's change the meaning of that word because it describes us.
Your not blk you cant say it unless you wanna deal with the consequences that come with it incel
Shut up, racist
Where's the proof you people talk a lot of crap where's the proof there's 20 cameras downtown
