UNC player, women’s basketball staffers say they heard racial slur at NC State

UNC Athletics sent a statement on the incident to WRAL, which says, “We have spoken with officials at NC State many times since last night’s game, as well as student-athletes and staff from our women’s basketball program. We appreciate NC State’s diligence in looking into the matter. There is no room for hateful speech in sports.” The comment was directed at a black UNC player, according to a source. Odd in that both teams are majority black. This story gives no specifics or hints as to what was said. Please click here for more. A source told Tar Heel Tribune that some N.C.
