You may have seen this article from Inside Lacrosse. This incident occurred on opening day this season. It is heartbreaking to see this happen to young student-athletes.
"It's been a difficult month for Howard University, the women's lacrosse team and first-year coach Karen Healy-Silcott. On Feb. 1 - the start of Black History Month - the university was one of more than a dozen Historically Black Colleges and Universities targeted with bomb threats.
Then, as Healy-Silcott’s team made their way to the field for their season-opener at Presbyterian on Friday afternoon, they were the targets of racist and sexist abuse and threatening language.
“We were heading down the steps to the field in the stadium, there were pickup trucks full of white boys, sitting at the top of the hill beside the stadium, saying “F*** Howard, you’re not welcome here, we don’t want you here, go home,” Healy-Silcott said Saturday. “They were shouting out out my kids by name, they were saying ‘F*** you, s*** my d***, you p****-a** bitch.”"
