EDIT: There's a distinct possibility that this is a misrepresentation. See the comments of @JustKip and @MissTuffy below. I was unaware that losing teams frequently do wear bags over their heads, that the winning team was not comprised entirely of blacks, and that there is zero concrete evidence at this point that the athletes were being racist. I was going to remove the entire post but I'll leave it up to serve as a reminder that a cursory search simply to see if it happened is not due diligence. My apologies.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.ProudMerry I am glad you can see both sides of the issue. Without actually asking the team their true intent behind the bags we shall never really know. IF you have ever watched some of the old old cartoons and tv shows you will see the paperbags in use to "hide from embarrassment"

How about they were embarrassed about losing the tourney, wanted to put bags over their heads out of shame, their lunches came in white bags, it's all they had to work with... Do you people spend time trying to see racism in any and everything you see all day long?

I agree with JustKip, your statement is very racist. Paper bags on the head are worn to denote embarrassment, those are not white pillowcases. That said please a im your anger ( as we all should) at the true racists of the real KKK whose fashion sense is truly offensive and can be mistaken for nothing else.
@misstuffy I may have jumped to the incorrect conclusion, thing is everything I've read about the bag on head embarrassment stance uses brown paper bags. Never found one image with a white bag. Just sayin'
@silverotter11 It is my understanding their lunches came in white paper bags so it's all they happened to have on hand.
