The University of Maryland suspends its club tennis program indefinitely after members circulate materials containing racist imagery associated with the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). Multiple outlets report the school takes action following emails and tournament-related materials that appear to include KKK-hood imagery.
The Athletic says the incident involves club members emailing the images in tournament materials to other teams, prompting the university’s response. Another report describes a Google document distributed as part of the program that contained racist images. While the outlets differ slightly in how the materials were shared and described, they agree the university’s decision follows discovery of racist content tied to club activities and competition communications.
