The Whataburger corporate office further apologized on Friday for an incident involving Arizona State football players being subjected to a racial slur by a customer earlier in the week.
In a statement, the company said: "Whataburger is appalled by the incident that took place at our Tempe restaurant, where our ASU student customers were victims of horrible racial slurs from a drive-thru customer."
"We apologize that these young men experienced this pain and have spoken with — and apologized to — each of them, some of their families, the ASU athletic partnership staff, and others impacted.
