隨着「佛洛伊德之死」引發美國一波黑人人權示威運動，多位NBA球員也跳出來爲此發聲。然而，近日一位前七六人啦啦隊成員柯爾蔓（Yahne Coleman）自爆，她在擔任啦啦隊期間遭到隊友、教練嚴重的種族歧視、霸凌，對此七六人球團表示正針對此事進行調查。
「黑人的命也是命」議題在全美髮酵，這讓現以轉職成爲模特兒的柯爾蔓，選擇在此時揭露自己過去在七六人啦啦隊遭到霸凌的往事，而她也在個人社羣媒體上公開遭到隊友欺侮的影片。柯爾蔓表示「我很害怕公開這一切，因爲我遭到前七六人啦啦隊隊友、教練的種族歧視」，她提到自己曾向球團高層、教練求助，但始終沒有獲得迴應。

柯爾蔓直言過去在做賽前準備時，隊友會故意把她的物品丟到廁所，並且會在公開羣組裡取笑她的照片，甚至會拍攝影片威脅要傷害她。由於要保住工作，因此柯爾蔓忍受這些侮辱3年之久，直到第4年啦啦隊試鏡前一晚，她接到隊友打電話來說「你的黑屁股不會再回來了」，沒想到隔天試鏡後她的啦啦隊生涯就此中斷。
儘管柯爾蔓離開了啦啦隊，卻仍遭到前隊友的騷擾，她表示前隊友仍會傳來影片，並嗆她是來自貧民窟，並要脅「不管未來到她哪裡工作，都會將她給找出來，並將她遭到解僱的原因說給新老闆聽」。最後柯爾蔓無奈的表示，就因爲她是「黑人」，就要受到這些欺凌。
據瞭解，柯爾蔓是在2015年離開七六人啦啦隊，而七六人球團在看到柯爾蔓的經歷後，也立即對外發表聲明，表示「我們看到前啦啦隊成員在社羣上的發文後，裡頭充滿了種族歧視的問題」，並直言會針對此事件進行徹底調查。
Thank you @treysongz , @hollywoodunlocked and you amazing people showing me support. I was scared to release this because I was racially bullied and threatened by my 76ers NBA teammates and former Teammates. I went to my coach Dayna Haftez and the Sixers organization crying out for help so many times. I sent the video above of me being racially profiled, bullied and threatened to my coach Dayna Haftez, Debbie Alpalucci, Lara Price the 76ers Senior Vice President of Business and HR seeking help. Nothing was done. They would move my things into the bathroom stall for me to get ready for games. They would make fun of my pictures in a group chat, talking about my black features and send me videos threatening my safety. I did not want them to run me away from a dream I always wanted to accomplish so I tried my hardest to remain strong through it all. I went through this for 3 years. When I auditioned for my 4th year this group of girls called me the night before on the phone saying “your BLACK ass will not be coming back”. I still went to the tryouts and unfortunately that was the end of my 76ers dance team career. It didn’t stop there. They proceeded to harass me by calling and leaving hateful racial videos saying they would come to the slums of West Philly Ghetto and physically harm me. I’m not from the ghetto and never lived in the ghetto but because I’m black they decided to say this laughing and giggling. They went around asking about me, finding out where I worked and called my employment saying things to get me fired. I would hate for this group of women who are still working and connected to the @sixers @philadelphiaflyers to hurt another young talented black girl. Sadly, I let this racial bullying incident from this group of women deter me from my dancing career. The women who racially bullied me - Annie Weiss aka Annie Fuhrman @ mommycanyou @ projectstillhuman, Nicole Vernile Current Captain @76ersent , Kerri McDonald Current Dance Coach 76ers, Danielle Dematteo @philadelphiaflyers Dance Coach, Malinda Ruth , Erica Hammel , Val Dematteo , Julie Kaskiw, Lauren Schwer, Krystal Almora aka Krystal Gregorio @KrystalAlmora hashtag_kids , Coach Dayna Hafetz
