Without Evidence, South Carolina Women’s Basketball Coach Cancels Games With BYU Over Alleged Racial Slur
She can get away with that BS for ONE reason.
Public humiliation is needed non stop.

I'm sure it'll be the other way around. Reparations.

The South Carolina womens basketball coach canceled basketball games with BYU because of a hoax involving Duke and BYU womens volleyball spectators? Seems a little extreme.

Just for fun, I googled Dawn Staley and apology fully expecting not to find anything. Boy was I wrong, but not because she apologized to BYU.

So she cancelled a women's College basketball game ... I guess the 27 fans that would have showed up will have to find something else to do that night .

Fans in the surrounding area pushed back on Richardson’s claims, however, saying that they didn’t hear any racial slurs during the game.

Witnesses also said that the Duke accusers never actually saw the man yell the n-word but only identified his voice.

The BYU Police Department has been unable to verify Richardson’s claims, even though the accused man has already been banned. The department sorted through all available surveillance and mobile phone footage in order to monitor the fan’s behavior throughout the game. Upon review, BYU police have been unable to uncover any evidence of the behavior he has been accused of.

‘When we watched the video, we did not observe that behavior from him,’ BYU Police Lt. George Besendorfer told the Salt Lake Tribune. A BYU officer also agreed. ‘There was nothing seen on the game film that led me to believe’ that the man ‘was the person who was making comments to the player who complained about being called the N-word,’ the officer said.

Despite a total lack of evidence, ...

As in the litigation involving Oberlin College, it seems like a law suit for defamation and related tort claims (possibly a separate criminal charge for filing a false police report)is one of the few ways to fight these incidents.

Why BYU would ban someone for life on an allegation is hard to understand.

Of course, it's very hard to get the full story.

Public shaming beyond belief and hitting them hard in the pocketbook will stop this crap.

I hope the Duke sports boosters are paying attention and withdraw any and all donations to the program until this player is kicked off the team. Same goes for South Carolina. Hold the money until the coach is shit-canned.

The cause of all this shit, Rachel Richardson the Duke volleyball player, is the very definition of “privilege.” She’s physically attractive and a student-athlete at one of the most prestigious universities in the United States. She should have been able to ignore one asshole, even IF it really happened, which increasingly seems doubtful. She’ll have advantages, the rest of her life, that most of us could only dream of.

Ya, but her team got their asses kicked, so RACISM!

BYU police don’t find evidence of racial slur directed at Duke volleyball team

Also from the article above, the kid ejected may have been a special needs kid:

The officer speculated that the fan had special needs and was “articulate, but socially awkward,” and that he “kept scrolling through his phone and didn’t seem too involved in the game.”

Maybe the headline should be:

Duke volleyball team falsely accuses special needs student of using racial slurs

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Seems the most racist people are the ones always crying racism. The most privileged people are always saying they're oppressed.

BYU lifts ban after investigation finds no evidence racial slurs used

PROVO, Utah — The ban against a Brigham Young University fan has been lifted after an investigation failed to find evidence that he used racial slurs to taunt an opposing player.


The athletics department initially banned the man, who is not a BYU student, from all athletic venues for allegedly shouting racial slurs during a volleyball match against Duke last month.

In an statement Friday, school officials said their investigation into the allegation had been completed and did not find any evidence to corroborate the allegation.

As part of the investigation, officials reviewed security footage from "all camera angles taken by BYUtv of the match," and officials reached out to more than 50 people who attended the match, including individuals from the Duke athletic department, BYU athletic department, security and fans.

"As a result of our investigation, we have lifted the ban on the fan who was identified as having uttered racial slurs during the match," the statement reads. "We have not found any evidence that that individual engaged in such an activity. BYU sincerely apologizes to that fan for any hardship the ban has caused."

The conclusion of the investigation comes as people around the nation criticized BYU for its initial response when the incident occurred.

"There will be some who assume we are being selective in our review," BYU officials said in a statement. "To the contrary, we have tried to be as thorough as possible in our investigation, and we renew our invitation for anyone with evidence contrary to our findings to come forward and share it."


The Duke volleyball player who was the target of the slurs later spoke out praising school officials for their response to the incident.

The conclusion of the investigation comes just a week after the University of South Carolina canceled basketball games with BYU over the incident.

Sooooooooo…he WAS guilty until proven innocent. Glad the fan’s integrity has been proven and restored, but yeah…that’s some stinky bullsh*t and if it were me, I’d be seeking damages. But that’s just me…

There was another more recent case with a Duke volleyball player which also seems to be b.s.

There's some great reporting and writing there. Roll Eyes

There were no "slurs"; ergo, she wasn't the target of anything.

Not surprising anymore. Guilty first without any proof and then judged quickly. Only if our judicial system could be as quick as this.
