BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A women's volleyball team at a small, historically Black college withdrew from their conference tournament in Alabama after a member was subjected to racial abuse during an awards banquet, officials said.

A Talladega College player using a feature that allows nearby cellphones to transfer data to each other received a “racially motivated picture” during the Southern States Athletic Conference's volleyball awards banquet, held last week during the tournament in Montgomery, the conference said in a statement.

Officials didn't release details on what the image showed, but the conference described the act as “vile and vicious.”

Was withdrawing the correct response?

Apparently, they don't know who sent the image.

The tournament covers the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.
