Student-athletes give it their all on the court, cheerleaders get the crowd pumped up, and fans in the student section make as much noise as possible.

The crowd let out an audible gasp and the game came to an immediate stop.

I'm surprised that all hell didn't break loose and that a big fight didn’t erupt in the stands.

I don't understand what this student was thinking when he yelled the racial slur.

Did someone bet him to do it?

Did he think it was funny and would get a laugh?

Are they just a racist piece of poop?

Regardless of the reason, it's sad and frustrating.

If I was one of those students in the stands, I would have called that student out in front of everybody for saying some racist crap like that.
