Dayton Flyers men\u2019s basketball coach Anthony Grant delivered an emotional speech after his team\u2019s 68-61 win over <\/u><\/a>Davidson<\/u> <\/a>after some of his players received hateful online messages from gamblers impacted by game outcomes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Grant, who has been the head coach of Dayton<\/u><\/a> since the 2017-18 season, spoke to reporters after some of his players reportedly received hateful online messages following a 63-62 loss to VCU Friday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I have to say something because I think it’s just necessary at this point,” Grant said Tuesday. “You know, these young men, we’re asking them to sacrifice quite a bit for us to be able to do what we do and enjoy what we enjoy. So I’m just asking all the Flyer fans just to understand that we’re dealing with 18, 21, 22-year-olds, and this is about them.<\/p>\n

“So, those of us that love the Flyers \u2013 which is the vast majority of our fan base \u2013 we appreciate you. But if this is about anything else that doesn\u2019t relate to what\u2019s in the best interest of the kids, what\u2019s in the best interest of this university and this proud program, this community that loves the Flyers \u2026 There’s some laws that have recently been enacted, that really to me, it could really change the landscape of what college sports is all about.”<\/p>\n

Dayton athletic director Neil Sullivan told the Dayton Daily News that players received online hate and “threats of violence” from gamblers around the country who had lost money.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“And when we have people that make it about themselves and attack kids because of their own agenda, it sickens me,” Grant added. “They have families. They don’t deserve that. Mental health is real. So if you’re a Flyer fan, I ask you just to understand what you’re dealing with, with young people. Alright? Take a step back, and reevaluate your priorities. And if you can’t, we don’t need you.”<\/p>\n

Sullivan said there has been a rise in online hate directed toward Dayton players since betting was legalized in Ohio.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“These are young kids,” Sullivan said, “and I\u2019m not going to add too much to what (Grant) said, but I\u2019m the paid adult. If someone\u2019s getting mad, they can get mad at me. They know where to find me. They\u2019ve found me many times.”<\/p>\n

The Flyers are 13-6 on the season and 5-1 in Atlantic 10 conference play<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
