Yates stated:
1. He regularly covers Vanderbilt's baseball team and, at every game, "he goes to check on the Vandy parents because they have 8 minority players on their team, and, as a black man, he wants to make sure they're okay."
2. Before the game, he went to "check on" the Vandy parents. He could "immediately see that it was a very hostile environment because they were outnumbered by MS State fans." There was "a lot of chirping coming from MS State fans to the Vandy parents." Yates stated that he "could tell that the environment could easily escalate into something dangerous for the Vandy parents." Yates leaves the Vandy section and goes back to his seat.
3. Yates stated that he returned to the Vandy section in the second inning (obviously after Vandy scored 7 runs). Yates said at this point, he heard MS State fans saying "completely inappropriate things" and "vitriol" at the Vandy parents. Asked to give an example, Yates said MS State fans were yelling at Vandy parents that their "kids should earn their scholarships like every other team." Yates goes back to his seat and does not return during the game.
4. After the game, so-and-so said to Yates, did you hear what happened? Yates asked what. The guy apparently told Yates that a bunch of MS State fans called the Vandy parents the N-word. Yates said, you mean the fans in [Section __]? "Yes, those fans."
Finebaum then asked Yates if any fans were kicked out of the stadium. Yates said no, but some were "moved around." Yates said that "this isn't the time for me to give you specifics as to what happened. But it happened. There is no reason to believe that it didn't happen based on the environment that I saw."
Guys, this is a "journalist" slandering an entire fanbase when he saw nothing racist with his own eyes. This is confirmation bias and race-baiting at its finest. frick this guy.

MSU fans would definitely whine about schollies. A former MSU QB just made a whole documentary about it. Sounds credible to me.

Junior: That's right, dude. See, y'all been trying to keep the black man down, and string him out on that shite. But the time be's comin, my man, when the black man? Throw that yoke off. Simple - free your mind, your arse will follow.

If any of this is true I’m really sure Tracy Rocker is so glad he comes by to protect him.
Dumbass shite like this is why people hate Vandy and journalism as a whole

What a sad commentary this paints of our media. Their agenda is what’s most important to them and facts don’t really matter anymore. The end justifies the means…

The stands would have exploded had that happened. Those parents wouldn't have just sat there quietly, a hundred heads would turn, and phones would be popping up like crazy.

He was really checking on the safety of the white folks.

The first bullet point is asinine. What a damn snowflake. The Vandy parents can’t handle things for themselves? What’s some idiot SJW journalist going to do to help?
Secondly, I hope Mississippi Stste comes back and mud holes candy-arse Vandy. I’m sick of all of the made-up racial garbage from the Left in this country.

I guarantee no one used racial slurs
Were there taunts?… sure, just like at every major sporting event. I can buy the scholarship taunts, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
But I don’t buy that a single person used the N word. Don’t buy it at all
It’s merely Some thin-skinned Vandy fans crying about being heckled and creating a racist angle

If you ever doubted what Finebaum is - this should remove that doubt for you

Yea,Kumar Rocker's dad is a big sissy.
Now,that's not to imply the incident didn't nor has ever happen. But rest assured, at a ball game my money is on Tracy Rocker if a scuffle breaks out.

First the NC State covid situation, now racism. Vandy just touching every hot button issue trying to get people to explode
If it did happen, it’s drunk fans at a championship game. Words are gonna fly, really not that big of a deal.
