Two college wrestlers have broken ranks to accuse members of their national championship winning team of hurling racial slurs at them.
Koki Mayfield and SD Nimeri, who are both black, claimed other stars repeatedly called them the N-word and made slave jokes while at the private Menlo College in the Bay Area.
They shared shocking text exchanges where students aggressively attacked them and also made homophobic comments.
It comes just weeks after the college program won the coveted NCWA National Championship in Louisiana on April 3.
Koki Mayfield told NBC Bay Area this week: “They replied to me saying, ‘This is why we should bring back slavery.'”
Other comments the two athletes alleged their teammates told them include, “Gay a** n***as… stay off my bed or it’s scraps.”
“Shut up n***er, U on my bed all the time,” another said.
The athletes also displayed a text that showed a teammate joke that a person “raped a mother and a child.”
The school’s wrestling coach held a meeting to address the behavior, but the students said it continued.
Menlo College president Steven Weiner said he is “committed to maintaining a respectful and inclusive community, and takes all reports of misconduct seriously.”
“The college has conducted an investigation into the matter and have taken appropriate steps to address it in accordance with their policies and values.”
The outlet reported that Weiner would not disclose if any students were disciplined due to privacy rules.
Mayfield and Nimeri hope that speaking out enables others to follow their lead and expose racism.
