The UCL Emperors student players refused to continue the match unless the KCL players were removed from the field, which was not done, so the match was suspended.

Speaking to King's Tab about the incident, UCL Emperors chairman Archie Graham said the team was “disappointed” but “proud” of the players “standing up against racism”. “Given the KCL's refusal to eject a player for racial slurs, we determined that our players did not feel comfortable continuing to play. American football as a sport thrives on diversity. The UCL is committed to the principles of inclusivity and integrity and will not otherwise tolerate racism on the field. “We are disappointed that the event cannot continue, but the players… I'm proud that we're coming together to stand up against racism,” Archie told Tab Kings.

Latest Update: KCL Regents Chairman Releases Comments Claiming the Incident is 'Completely False'
KCL Regents president Omid Zarei told the King's Tab: “A UCL player called a KCL player a 'bitch' after he made a tackle. A UCL player was punished for unsportsmanlike conduct. But out of thin air, I said, “He said the N-word!” Although this accusation was completely false, it was taken very seriously (and rightfully so). “As I think he knows, you can't accuse someone of being a racist out of thin air, so instead of admitting that he made things up, he said that the UCL vice-president spoke to me. They continued to lie until they were told not to play until they eliminated the player they accused of saying the slur. “I myself said no because in doing so I would be admitting that my own player had slandered me. Not only was I only 10 yards away from them the whole time, “It is completely unacceptable to falsely accuse someone of something so abhorrent. KCL Regents are one of the most diverse BUCS teams in the country and we are very proud of that. What's more, our coaching staff is made up mostly of Afro-Caribbean people, so if they thought for a second that the accusations were true, they would be the first to admit it. is really tired of false accusations, and as a person of color (who has experienced racism firsthand), I think false accusations are one of the most terrifying things that can put someone through.''Overall, as president, as a person of color, And as a human being, I am appalled by these false accusations and look forward to the day when an investigation will duly exonerate our players and hold UCL players accountable for their shameful acts and omissions. About self-responsibility. ”
