This is a shocking story.Black kids should be able to play sport ithout abuse.Most of the fault lies with BYU and their racist fans. But Duke also deserves censure.

they should have walked off at the firdt himt of trouble. Kids should not have to play in front of racist trash.

What ill the authorities do ? In Europe they close grounds and issue minor fines. Hardly enough in my opinion.

Duke women volleyball players felt unsafe after barrage of racial slurs, threats by BYU fan

Duke sophomore Rachel Richardson said she and her fellow African American teammates were racially heckled throughout the entire game and as the slurs grew into threats they no longer felt safe.

abc7chicago.com

"A Duke women's volleyball player was harassed and threatened during a game Friday night at Brigham Young. The Duke player, who is Black, was apparently called a racial slur by a BYU fan sitting in the student section. Sunday, Duke confirmed the incident from Friday and said Saturday's match against Rider was moved to a different location. One of the players (Rachael Richardson) who was subjected to the barrage of slurs, insults and threats also released a statement via Twitter on behalf of herself and the other targeted players. Richardson, a Duke sophomore, said she and her fellow African American teammates were racially heckled throughout the entire game and as the slurs grew into threats they no longer felt safe. She said the players struggled to play at their best level because of being concerned about their safety.

BYU's Athletic Department responded to the incident by saying, "All of God's children deserve love and respect ... and BYU Athletics is completely committed to leading out in abandoning attitudes and actions of prejudice of any kind and rooting out racism." BYU also said it "wholeheartedly" apologized to Duke University and "especially its student-athletes."

So I guess the triggered volleyball players couldn't handle a little good-natured heckling and now they are blowing this whole thing out of proportion. This is actually a hate crime by the blacks against Mormons .....just because Mormons up until 40 years ago believed blacks were all cursed by Satan with black skin doesn't mean anything.....If God told them this was true, who are we judge them for their beliefs?


Now, I must add that I have a personal connection to this story....I know the godmother of the person in this story, in real life....she is very well respected attorney in the Dallas-Fort Worth area...and so I value her input on what happened....I first found out about it before it went viral...not mentioned in the story is the fact...a police officer had to be appointed to the Duke bench because of threats made by fans that the black Duke players better watch their back when going back to the bus....Also not mentioned in the story is the degree the crowd encouraged the racial slurs, complete with the crowd yelling the "N-word" everytime a black player was serving the ball.....And apparently, Utah has a history of this type of thing -- as according to this former NBA player which has made it his hobby to troll Utahians online...

That's horrible....I remember when JJ Redick was attacked, and Duke's lacrosse players....

College kids do and say stupid stuff to opposing teams....totally unwarranted and uncalled for behavior. Hopefully they ID the kids at BYU, and the school properly address the issue

 

[MarathonMike]

Your thread title and the content of your post seem to be contradictory. And I personally don't like throwing entire groups of people, an entire University or an entire state under the bus for the actions of a few idiots. But that's just me.

I guess all that diversity training isn’t working out.

You lefties push racial hate and division, yet for some reason get all weepy when it comes back around. Why is that? Attacking people for their skin color is what the left wants and thrives on.

I understand that the Uni is trying to root out itd historical racism. Maybe they should be barred until they have done that. Kids should not have to play savages.

What do you get, Sammy short bus, from peddling this crap before all the facts are known and the investigations complete?

They needed a police escort. Racists were banned and the top boy apologised in person before asking the racists to behave themselves.
Game over,

In this case, another opportunity to humiliate your fat hillbilly ass for getting conned by another hoax.
