Personally, I think the punishment fits the crime. First of all, mocking any team that makes it all the way to the collegiate finals is bad enough. Second, to criticize them for their appearance is just stupid. These are athletes that train hard and deserve praise, not moronic snipes. If someone here made the exact same comment in the exact same context, they'd most likely be banned.
Honestly, the race thing is of secondary concern to me. Anytime you denigrate the effort that an athlete has put in to reach the pinacle of their sport and fall just short, I'm going to be offended. The racial stuff makes it worse, but that's the lesser of the two sins I see.
