#CHILE Monmouth University Under Investigation After Homophobic Harassment At A Basketball Game
What you do is what you do but what you’re NOT going to do is use offensive slurs during a basketball game to distract players.
#YesGirl Some Monmouth University students are under investigation by the university after they mocked a Siena basketball player with photos of his Grindr profile that read “Stick To GRINDR,” which Siena defeated Monmouth 86-72 in their final home game of the season.
This incident happened just two nights before when the Monmouth’s basketball game held a special Gay Pride night that was organized by Caroline Mattise, who is the captain of Monmouth’s women’s tennis team.
Monmouth University President Patrick Leahy said that the school will be investigating the incident, calling it “highly offensive.” He stated that “discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated on this campus.”
The incident received lots of backlash on social media that included a former student-athlete chiming in on the issue.
Hopefully, the president does take care of the situation and solves the issue by giving out disciplinary action towards the students that were involved.
