The manager said this year was the first they had a problem with activists at the conservative gathering.Attendees at a college recreation conference were greeted by a surprise Friday, when a manager for the convention center where their conference was being held came to their closing session and apologized for the inappropriate behavior of attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference, which was meeting in the same space.
The National Intramural and Recreational Sports Association held its meeting at the Gaylord National Convention Center in Maryland last week, at the same time as the big annual gathering of conservative activists.
A Gaylord manager alluded to reports of harassment toward NIRSA attendees by CPAC attendees, saying they were out of line with the convention centers values, according to multiple people who attended the NIRSA closing session. She also stressed the importance collegiate recreation had played in her own life, adding a personal touch to her comments.
The manager added that the convention center had never had a problem with CPAC attendees behavior until this year. A Gaylord spokeswoman declined to comment.

but the video clip doesn't explain much. It's just two people having ugly words with each other. I can't tell who is who.
