I have lived my entire life in vermont and my son is 16 and plays 3 sports against all the teams stated and at no point have I ever heard anything racist said! Have I heard questionable people say that things were said "Yes". I think that people are just trying make something that isn't there to seem more equitable! Just my opion

So in other words if you weren’t there to see it happen then it didn’t happen? Grow some empathy or compassion!

I have bean at every wrestling match football game and laccrosse game for as long as I can remember and I have never heard any racism!. At no point do I believe it doesn't exist, but it isn't as big of a deal that everyone is making it. I believe people are just trying to be heros at others expense!

Again, ‘no big deal’ because you didn’t see it! Well by that logic racism in general is no biggie because 95% of us VTers are white so we probably don’t suffer any ills right? Plus I haven’t been the victim personally so it probably doesn’t happen.

Idk, I grew up in fair haven and our sports teams mostly wore white. Frequently the basketball fans would chant white power at the games. Granted this was 2004-2008 but I doubt much has changed.

I'm sorry but I think that's a stretch. If you wore green and they said green power would that be racist?
