The South Carolina womens basketball team has canceled a scheduled two-game series with BYU in the wake of an alleged racist incident involving a BYU fan, USC announced on Friday.
As a head coach, my job is to do whats best for my players and staff, South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley said in a news release. The incident at BYU has led me to reevaluate our home-and-home, and I dont feel that this is the right time for us to engage in this series.
The incident Staley referenced occurred on Aug. 26 when Duke volleyball player Rachel Richardsons family alleged she was repeatedly called a racial slur by a fan during a contest at BYU, according to the (Raleigh) News & Observer. snip

BYU allowed the obscene harassment to continue throughout the match. What happened isn't an LGBTQ issue, but it is bigotry, and I think schools will call out BYU.
It might be time for someone to make a movie about the Salamander Letters.
