A high school basketball game in Michigan came to an abrupt halt earlier this month as a student spectator yelled a racial slur at an African-American player as he attempted a free throw. The incident was acknowledged by Goodrich High School superintendent Mike Baszler in a statement earlier this week after it was captured in cell phone footage that has since gone viral. The clip shows a Kearsley High School player missing a free throw as someone yelled the n-word from the crowd. Although the camera remained fixed on the court, angry spectators are heard yelling for several seconds after the racial slur was uttered. 'Last week at a varsity boys basketball game, a derogatory racial slur was made from the student section,' read Baszler's statement, which he posted on Facebook.
