Black Parents Of Student-Athletes Called The N-Word During College World Series Between Vanderbilt University And Mississippi State
— John Cohen (@JohnCohenAD) June 29, 2021
Clinton Yates, a columnist for ESPN’s The Undefeated, who was covering the game, appeared on The Paul Finebaum Show on Tuesday and gave an eyewitness account of the racist environment that the Vanderbilt baseball players’ parents endured during the game.
“Basically what occurred was, as soon as the game got out of hand, the entire level of the discourse went up tremendously in terms of the chirping, in terms of the such-and-such,” Yates recalled.
“And when it got to the level of what we’ll just call: the word you’re not supposed to say. And that happened on multiple occasions when, finally, they had to decide that police needed to get involved,” he continued.
Yates recalled that the section where the Vanderbilt players’ parents were sitting before the game quickly turned into a racially charged environment.
“I went down before the game, and you could tell the environment was hostile,” Yates said. “When I went down there the second time, it was a wildly different environment. We’re hearing a lot of chirping that’s on the line of things — what are you going to call them slurs, are you going to call them offensive.”
In an official statement, the NCAA came out forcefully against the use of racist language.
“Any parties responsible for unacceptable actions during the games will be removed by stadium security,” the NCAA statement read.
