A trio of Arizona State players say they were called a racial slur at a Whataburger near campus on Tuesday night.
Sun Devils cornerback Jordan Clark, tight end Nolan Matthews and safety T Lee detailed the incident on Twitter on Wednesday.
The players say they approached a white woman in her car on Tuesday night and asked whether she could order their food–which they would pay for–via the drive-through since the inside of the restaurant was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After the woman declined, the players overheard her complaining to the manager, who ended up paying for her meal, according to the Arizona Republic.
