After Utah’s exit from the tournament on Monday, head coach Lynne Roberts disclosed a troubling incident that marred the team’s journey. The Utes, seeded fifth in the competition, found themselves at the receiving end of despicable racial hate crimes just last week. The abhorrent nature of these acts forced the team to make an abrupt decision—to relocate and switch hotels for their safety and well-being. Such distressing developments have shed light on broader societal challenges and the imperative need for solidarity against all forms of discrimination.
