COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (KUTV) — Idaho leaders have responded to allegations of racism toward University of Utah women's basketball players while they were staying in Coeur d'Alene for the NCAA Tournament.
Mayor Jim Hammond, Police Chief Lee White and representatives with the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations were among speakers at Tuesday's press conference.

Wait, women play basketball?
It’s like high school basketball only slower. Probably another fake racism story.
The only detail left out was the MAGA hats. This sounds ridiculous
Were they even biological women?!
Watch for the “Idaho Too White” hit pieces.
A guy drives by and shouts something from the window. Can you act fast enough to grab a video of that? I have to fumble around with my phone to get to the camera, to video and start recording.
Try reading the article again.
Okay, Boomer.
Interesting report:
“... their information did not come from law enforcement, but a “very reliable third-party source.”
“when a truck displaying a Confederate flag drove by and “the driver began spewing appalling racial slurs at them, also using the N-word.”
“Far-right extremists have made a presence in the region. In 2018, at least nine hate groups operated in the region of Spokane and northern Idaho, including Identity Evropa, Proud Boys, ACT for America and America’s Promise Ministries, according to the SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER(my emphasis).”
“Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said the department still needs to speak with the Utah players and witnesses who were present during the alleged incident.”
Not exactly sure why they were there when the game was played in Spokane.
OK, Speedy...what’s your time when an unexpected event happens to go from “get phone from pocket” to “film rolling”? Run some trials and get back to us. The jerk shouting is gone in 0.5 seconds.
The story is they encountered the supposed man/men ore than once; they he was waiting for them when they left restaurant.
Sounds like an excuse for getting their butts kicked in the game and being easily triggered
“The players reportedly encountered the same person, now joined by others, while leaving the restaurant. Officials stated the women were followed back to their hotel by the perpetrators, who continued yelling “racial slurs while revving their engines,” which they believed “was a serious threat to the safety of those students.”
10 college females and no phones…sure thing.
And they say he and others followed them as they walked to hotel.
But both encounters would be unexpected. I would think leaving the restaurant the last thing you would expect is for the jerk to be there waiting for you and having your camera at-the-ready just in case he IS there.
A bunch of college kids would already have had their phones in their faces and hitting "record" would have been reflexive.
They were supposed to be fearing for their lives remember?
A main road in a city will have several bsinesses with security cameras. A pickup flying a battle flag would be easily spotted. If no footage is found and released you’ll know the whole thing is a lie.
So the university and its students are racists because some member of the general public drove by and shouted something?
