Sounds like it. Sounds like they had opportunities to stop it and didn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been stopped the moment it started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BYUfan35 Posted August 30, 2022 Group: Member Topic Count: 1 Content Count: 10 Reputation: 9 Days Won: 0 Joined: 08/26/2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 My brother was at the game in the student section and said he didn’t hear anything of that nature at the game. Within 5 seats of the alleged slur usage was A group of black BYU basketball players who undoubtedly would have reported or dealt with it. The godmother who broke the story also has a long twitter history of anti-white messages. She’s in the middle of a campaign in Texas, and wasn’t even at the game. BYU’s AD has spoken to every student, player, staff member at the game and no one else heard it besides the 1 Duke player. Not even her teammates have come out saying they heard Any slur. Im not saying it isn’t possible it happened. And if it did, it’s horrible and the person responsible deserves to be punished and any lack of response called out and fixed immediately. But the story just isn’t adding up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person banned wasn’t banned for a racist comment, they were banned for approaching the Duke team after a set. It was a handicapped kid who wasn’t even a BYU student, and the Duke girl said she thinks it was also him who said the slur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I am saying I don't believe him. There is video of her serving, two of her teammates near her stopping and painting into the crowd. And multiple Duke players complained, not just the one in question. This is the issue with BYU. Stop trying to defend the indefensible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
