Ukrainian USU basketball player Max Shulga responds to 'Russia' chant from Colorado State fans
FORT COLLINS, Colorado — Colorado State fans are under fire for their behavior at Saturday night’s basketball game against Utah State. Their fan section repeatedly chanted “Russia” at Max Shulga, a Utah State player who is from Ukraine.
Frank is Ukrainian and graduated from Utah State last year. She was part of the women’s volleyball team and plays for Ohio University now.“Especially Max, I know, especially with his family being in Kiev how hard it is for him, saying something like that not only affects the game but really affects your life,” she said.
"Every participant, student, and fan should feel welcomed in our venues," the statement reads in part."For something like this to have occurred is unacceptable at Colorado State." "Utah State University and its Athletics Department fully supports Max Shulga, and his family, who reside in Ukraine. The incident that occurred during our men's basketball game at Colorado State last night was inappropriate and unacceptable. We appreciate the Colorado State Administration and basketball staff for not condoning such behavior.
