Sad to see this in Iowa.

At Monday night’s game against Dallas Center-Grimes, opposing fans used Trump’s disdain for illegal immigrants to target several players of Latino descent.

"We are all aware of racism, it's alive and well in small portions but it's alive and well and it's just hurtful to see that's what they resort to,” said Kevin Lopez, Perry Student Section Leader.

Chants like “Trump, Trump, Trump” and "USA" were said.

According to players, chants like, “Trump, Trump, Trump,” were said and they were trying to intimidate Perry players by reciting things Trump has said about what he plans to do with immigrants and their children if he is elected.

And would forfeit all games won this season, and agree that there would be no legal moves made to have those games restored. I don't care if it's a small subset, the only way to stop this is to punish the entire school.

I took a look and Isee that Perry is in the state tournament so it must have been the last game for DCG of the year.
