OMAHA, Neb. (WTVA) – The two athletic directors of Vanderbilt and the State of Mississippi released statements on Tuesday condemning the racist attacks during the College World Series.

Vanderbilt athletic director Candice Storey Lee first released a statement Tuesday morning.

I am deeply disturbed that some of our student-athlete parents were subjected to racist slurs during last night’s game. This is absolutely unacceptable and disgraceful behavior, and such hateful language has no place in our society anywhere.

And you absolutely have the wholehearted support of not just Vanderbilt Athletics, but the entire Commodore Nation.

– Candice Storey Lee (andVandyAD) June 29, 2021

She did not provide any other specific information.

MSU Sports Director John Cohen released his statement Tuesday afternoon.
