is investigating the incident<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cThis week, a racist and hateful symbol was discovered on our site,\u201d the Tennessee Builders Alliance said in a statement issued to Davenport. \u201cThere is no place for hate or racism in our workplace. We reported the incident to law enforcement, suspended work, and launched an investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nashville Mayor Freddie O\u2019Connell also issued a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, this is an environment where we want to try as hard as we can to prevent scenarios that might be fear or hate-based,\u201d O\u2019Connell said. \u201cWe\u2019ve taken some steps, both with local policies, state policy, and partnership with them to try, again, to keep temperatures low and prevent hate incidents like this. It is very concerning, there is an open investigation. I know the Titans are cooperating with Metro Nashville Police and we\u2019ll see what that investigation turns up.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear how long the construction will remain halted. The stadium is expected to open in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Work at the site of the new Tennessee Titans stadium has stopped after a noose was found at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19889,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-19888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19888\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
