Five women's soccer players from a visiting team allege that BYU fans used racial slurs during a 2021 match, according to the Guardian.
The players told the Guardian that spectators used the N-word when shouting at them when members of the team knelt during the national anthem. Sports players have knelt during the national anthem in the past to protest social justice and systemic racism in the world.
“I just remember that there was like a consistent chant of ‘stand up, N-words’ during the anthem and right after,” one of the players said, via the Guardian.
