4:01Now PlayingA group of white students at a basketball game turned their backs on the opposing team, who were AfricanAmerican and biracial. One of them held a Trump sign in case anyone didn't get the message. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"A Missouri school district is apologizing for “unsportsmanlike” and “insensitive” behavior by white students during a basketball game against a rival team with black players.
In a clip circulating online, the white students from Warrensburg High School are seen turning their backs as the black students on the Center High School team are introduced before the game Monday night.
The district posted a statement on Facebook apologizing:
Members of our student body acted inappropriately and were insensitive toward our opponents. The Warrensburg R-VI School District does not condone these actions and apologizes to anyone who was offended by the actions of these students. We will do everything we can to keep incidents like this from happening again.
Warrensburg Superintendent Scott Patrick told the Kansas City Star that the students have a tradition of turning their backs on opponents, which he called “unsportsmanlike.”
But this went further. “I think in this case, [the Trump sign] was really the difference in what took this from something that was unsportsmanlike to something that was insensitive, not necessary and inappropriate,” Patrick told the newspaper."*
