    I’ll take Things That Never Happened for $500, Alex.

    Young people record everything ~ where is the video of it happening?
  • @porky552
    Is this a another Smollett moment? With all those phones among the players, not one video. Is revving your engine and yelling racial slurs a crime in Idaho? Were the players to drunk to play the next day and needed an excuse? It’s been 3 weeks any updates or videos or charges yet?
  • @leelaural
    been several days now....where are the multiple videos of this incident?...100 people at least and most of them young with their phones in their hands.....where are the videos?.....this couldn't have been an embellished incident could it?....this coach three the refs under the bus, the fans, the hotel placement( a luxury hotel btw) and then throws in this "racial" business......sounds to me like she wanted excuses for losing.....again, people should not be intimidating others thru hate but people can not expect everyone to like you...

    Confederate flags being waved as some sort of badge of honor in 2024? Enough said.
  • I can remember being a student at a large, west Texas Univ. in the early 2000s as a Black student and getting the "hate" treatment. It's no fun. Coming from a major city, I was appalled at the level of hatred and ignorance that was inside SOME people in that small town. I know it's wrong, but I avoid rural communities to this day because of my experiences.

    And then they yelled, "This is Maga country!" 🙄
  • @Bobalicious
    All those young women and not one phone video? Sounds suspicious.
  • @plaidzebra5526
    It's Idaho they have the most hate groups in all the U.S.
  • If you can revv while driving, It's probably a manual. I don't doubt the slurs were thrown in their direction.
  • @micclay
    Arrest them for false information.
  • @larryscott5580
    There are 12 state wide hate groups in Idaho. I can see this happening in Idaho and Washington. Being on a college campus is different than staying at a hotel.
  • @jazzyj6640
    Just because it isn’t recorded doesn’t mean it isn’t true! Not every picks up a phone to record.
  • @micclay
    They need to be arrested for false information.
