Racial chirping

What is the best way to handle this? Kid is tired of being told “be the bigger person” and “just ignore them”. Minority players have to deal with this all the time and it’s no fun for a kid.

Haven’t spoken to the coach since I don’t want to be “that parent.”

Teach your players about chirping vs casual racism. Please.

Thank to everyone for the advice. I’m encouraged to find so much support and outrage. I think it’s important to speak to kids often about the difference between being a competitor and a pos. Mental game is obviously a big part of the game but it shouldn’t have to involve ignorant attacks.

I’ve spoken to the coach and he will reach out to the other teams’s coach but don’t think anything really can be done after the fact. (Not that I wanted suspension or anything)
