The University of Alabama has expressed its outrage after a fan was caught on video yelling racist remarks and homophobic slurs at Texas players during their recent game. The university says it is “disgusted” by the behavior.
The incident occurred during the Longhorns’ 34-24 victory over the Crimson Tide at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.
The video captured a man repeatedly shouting a homophobic slur at a group of Longhorns players who were dancing on their sideline during the game.
In addition, the man can be heard in the video yelling for the players, who are Black, to “go back to the projects.”
The three Longhorns players involved, X’Avion Brice, Jelani McDonald, and Quintrevion Wisner, have not yet publicly commented on the video. However, Wisner’s mother expressed her heartbreak over the situation in a statement.
“The fact that my son is down there and they are saying ‘go back to the projects’ really saddens my heart. As his mother, it hurts to see him subjected to that,” said Angie Wisner.
She added, “Love you Son! But, the parents went through this all night! Beer cans thrown at us, water bottles, spit! Disgrace.”
The University of Alabama issued a scathing statement on Monday condemning the fan’s actions.
“We are disgusted by reports of vile language and inappropriate behavior Saturday night,” the university stated. “To be clear, we condemn this behavior, and it will not be tolerated in our venues. It is not representative of UA or our values.”
“We expect all attendees to act with class and respect toward others. Fans are strongly encouraged to report issues to our on-site security resources.”
“Gameday and delayed reports are appropriately addressed, and anyone found to be in violation of our rules and expectations is promptly removed and may be banned from future events.”
It’s unclear if the police are investigating the incident for any potential criminal charges. TMZ has reached out to UAPD for comment but has not received a response yet.
