The Olympia School District apologized after some students at a Capital High School basketball game yelled racial slurs, which were caught on video, at a Black player from an opposing team.

KIRO 7 spoke with the father of the player who was the target of the slurs.

In a video watched hundreds of times on social media, some students can be heard making gorilla noises and shouting other remarks at the player. Somehow, Steplight said he never heard the chants during the game. It was only the next day when Steplight said he saw the video, which he said was posted on Instagram by a Capital High student who tagged his son.
