There MUST be repercussions to the player Rachel Richardson - bc if she had handled it with coaches, police, etc AND NOT IN PUBLIC on social media and it turned out false then she should get a pass (“misheard”) but the decisions to GO PUBLIC first, but facts/investigation be dammed that’s the reason for harsh punishment. She should be expelled and charges for a crime (along with Lesa Pamplin godmother). The way she.they was handled is the issue. A mentally challenged fan was publicly accessed. A coach received death threats. The bell can’t be unrung.

If being a "racist" was as bad a thing as they say, then falsely labeling someone a racist should be as bad. It isn't. There are no consequences for falsely making the charge. There's no expectation to even apolagize. If there's no penalty for slandering someone with "racist," there's no reason to consider the word more than a bullying label.

The police officer posted near the Duke bench said he heard no racial comments from the student section. The BYUtv game footage clearly shows the student section behind the servers. That footage is available to stream for anyone anywhere. Countless individuals at this point have poured over that footage and no one has found anything.

She must be held accountable for her sickening hate.

[@19thnervousbreakdown80]

What's "heavier"? Accusing her of making it up? Or her making it up? I'd suggest, at the very least, they're both pretty " heavy". The volatility in the country right now is exactly why false accusations are "heavy". No matter how many people make excuses for her doesn't change that.

[@deebofleebo6427]

But why are things volatile in this country right now? There's no White Lives, Brown lives, or Any Other Color Lives Matter anywhere in this country rioting and burning cities down for months at a time

[@mf2382]

Jussie Smollett. We all need to push back against false allegations. Duke should be suspended from all further play until they deal with this.

[@BDE360]

The girl obviously made it up! I think she should face some consequences!!! I’m sick of accusations like this coming out and being fake. This girl is trying to destroy someone’s life that is wrong.

[@tomascantu7981]

they need 2 take this worthless athlete from the Duke team. they need to prosecute her. she is no longer a minor.

I'm the biggest BYU fan and if I would ever hear anybody say that I would go right in their face and punch them and get kicked out of the stadium just because of it

[@mimimonster]

Oh I think that if someone yelled this, they would’ve been pounced on by students and physically thrown out. I can’t imagine one student being okay with it, but would be horrified. I would’ve been.

[@thomassenbart]

Why is it dangerous to draw the logical conclusion, that the player fabricated the story? People lie all the time. if you can't see going there, you have not been paying attention to all of the similar incidents, during the past decade, of Black folk doing exactly this, all over the country.

[@RichardChappell1]

I'm not sure that making an accusation of a false report is any worse than making a false accusation. Accusing a group of people of racism is pretty serious accusation. After her nitial complaint, BYU sent a cop and several others to go to the area to watch out for incidents - and nothing happened. And she made accusations for the time the cop was standing right there. He heard nothing. The cop talked to the young man banned and said he made no statements like that. More likely, she heard stuff and her bias interpreted as racially motivated. She should have validated it before making the accusation.

[@frankdracman4084]

Why for heaven's sake doesnt she just say the alleged slur instead of hiding it? What might the player consider to be a slur? In the UNC v Duke men's basketball games its an old standard for UNC fans to rattle car keys intimating that Dukeys are spoiled children who all get given cars. Is there anything Rachel might consider "racially oriented" about that? Is there something racist about the Cougar chomp gesture? She had a fairly sub par performance, is it possible she just got rattled and went inside her own head and started to look for excuses or into bad head space?

[@michaelcarman5216]

no kidding

[@austinpoll]

So is it more likey that a student surrounded by 50 or more people shouted a racial so loudly that the duke girl playing volleyball was able to hear it so clearly that she was willing to make the allegations? Or is more likely that everyone surrounding that student would've spoke out and said that someone in their section was shouting these inappropriate racial slurs? We should all use as much common sense as necessary to decide for ourselves.

[@rodneywoodcock8235]

Did anyone else hear what she is claiming? I can't believe in this day and age if someone where doing what she is claiming that others wouldn't confront the alleged individual.

[@k8jones121]

BYU is NOT racist. And the honor code does matter to at the very least 10% (I'm sure it's closer to 70-80%). I say 10% only because with 10% you'd have AT LEAST 4-6 to vouch for her. The fact that NO ONE DID, means it DIDN'T HAPPEN!

[@michaelmisczuk1188]

Well, call Al Sharpton if it's so serious. He started this with Tawana Brawley, years ago. He also said, "Take me to court." The accused , Steven Pagones , who worked for the DA, took him to court. Sharpton didn't show. Bill Cosby -- I poop you not --paid the legal fees for Sharpton.

[@mikaahloe175]

The man that was banned from BYU game should sue everyone and this lie racist player from Duke. Her god parents and very media outlet. BYU should apologize to the fan. BYU should not be pandering to woke BS from this duke player

[@billsmith5166]

What about the Line Judges? If someone used the N word, wouldn't she instinctively have looked at the spectator? Why didn't any of the players hear it? Wouldn't at least 25 to 50 fans have heard it? EVERY SINGLE ONE of them would have to have been racist. If it had happened to me, I would have remembered specifically when it happened in the game. The Line Judge IS RIGHT THERE, but she didn't say a thing. Could it have anything to do with the fact that they were losing, and the crowd was pretty much all white? I can't remember the last sporting event that I attended where if someone from the crowd yelled the N word, most of the crowd would have pointed at the fan, and called attention to it.

There is no way on planet Earth that someone would yell out a racial slur in the middle of a BYU student body!

[@kimsoksoy1755]

There's no repercussions if she made it up because she has the pass to say what she wants. Duke hasn't been relevant for a while . Her teammates would've heard what had been said to her but no ones said anything. Smolllet 2.0

[@rbstevns1534]

Her aunt/god mother put her up to it

[@stephanel6637]

HER aunt said that she heard slur EVERYTIME she served!!! Everytime...not just one time...many many times but no proof, nobody heard something, nothing!

[@kenb2703]

Fact whether you like it or not: Evidence shows she made up the story, and it is a hoax. Period.

[@Brownbeauty555]

It obvious this channel is racist!

[@Lordperson3]

It’s sad BYU threw the fan under the bus

[@SynnJynn]

Maybe they did it because recently a church member was accused of child molestation and they didn't report it to the police, so they didn't want another scandel?

[@PInk77W1]

Duke LaCrosse lady got in no trouble Duke Volleyball lady will get in no trouble

[@patriot03062]

Sounds like a lawsuit coming up for the accused fan being banned. First question in the Disposition. “Where the evidence”? Duh

[@peters822]

I think the only way for BYU to address this is to file a lawsuit for defamation against this Duke student. She caused damage worth millions to BYU (monetary and reputation). They will do this to regain their reputation, not for the money. If they don't sue then these people will continue to be held unaccountable.

[@anitapendleton1209]

This Duke player LIED. Duke needs to kick her out.

[@multitieredinvestor183]

The horrible fallout of this situation is a Black, female coach of a different sport cancelling their game with BYU. So aggravating racial Divison in our country!

[@TheCureThatKillz]

Hopefully this gets investigated, gets proven in court that she made it all up, she looses her scholarship, gets kicked out of Duke, and spends a few months in jail. Fingers crossed!

[@1DwtEaUn]

Whenever the news involves a Duke student, I just assume it is fake news, after all there is a pattern of that. Like the murder who accused the LaCrosse team, etc.

[@austinpoll]

Some very popular BYU athletes have lost scholarships and or been suspended for a lot less then this due to other BYU student's telling BYU admins about the honor code violations at their schools over the years.

[@nagginsnuggets9424]

In this day and age of cell phones and cameras, I find it hard to believe that not one shred of evidence was found. Not to mention all the cameras from the schools taping the game for training etc, not one piece of info. Until the accusers start getting punished for false claims this will continue to happen.

[@ctpierce181]

Not a difficult situation. There has to be consequences for these racial hustlers. Civil at least and why not jail. They are trying to start a racial war for whatever reason .

[@birdman7941]

It’s also dangerous to accuse someone who’s listed in report has possibly having autism of saying racist statements but that’s what she and her coaches did and so far there’s zero evidence to back up those claims this doesn’t end without a lawsuit and other things like lying to the police type of legal issues if they can’t back up the claims 😬😬😬😬😬

[@djgusmc5620]

The falsely accused fan should SUE both the schools and the Volleyball Player. If they can't show ANY evidence, then what did they ban the fan and slander their name.

[@jeffbarr6816]

This incident has been investigated, people have been interviewed and various video footage has been reviewed with absolutely no evidence found to corroborate the allegation. Who in Duke identified the young man who was ejected from the game? What evidence do they have to support that claim? It would appear that they have none as the video evidence negates that claim. In this video reference is made to BYU "honour code" and questions are raised about the integrity of those present who failed to come forward to report the behaviour. Perhaps they have not come forward because they did not see or hear anything connected to the alleged racial slurs. If the Duke player is found to have lied about this then she should face serious consequences, including civil legal action.

[@hollyprice4351]

Also, virtually yeveryone these days carries a cell phone with a video (with sound). You cannot tell me that NOONE took a video on their cell phone of this supposed 2 hour verbal assault. I mean a girl was gang raped and there were dozens of people video taping the incident and streaming it on the internet (instead of calling 911). Every time someone has an altercation with the police, it ends up on the internet, and you are trying to convince me that the "lack of evidence" means nothing? With all do respect, the accused cannot prove a "negative". That is why an accused is "innocent" until "proven guilty".

Why do we put so much energy into this! Actually the right to freedom of speech, one can say what they desire, so long as no life threat. We, or someone, may not like it, but that's freedom of speech. I've been called many names I don't like, but you get over it. Besides, black music and rappers use "racial" comments all the time, both that are offensive to blacks and whites. Be careful of censoring speech, or being the snitch that supports censoring speech. You can voice your opinion, then it stays at that. No one has the right to tell another how to act or talk. Not in a free world, at least!

[@williamrutland8097]

[@father811]

The God mother has years of racial prejudice documented. There is no doubt this situation was initiated and promoted in the players mind by this older hate-filled woman. If I were BUY, I would fire the Athletic Director for his 'knee jerk' reaction. Then I would bring a civil suite against Duke University. The post-incident harm to BYU fully justifies such action. And I fully believe that results of such a law suit would favor BYU.

[@kellythayer3679]

And where is the mobile phone footage. You don’t think there would be at least one mobile phone capturing this happening. Nothing happened and you can bet 100% a fan would have spoke up and escorted that fan out. Thank you for taking this stand. We need to get this out to the nation. Please do not let this go. It’s time to take a stand on a false accusations. NOW!!!

[@doniboydsimonson3601]

It strikes me as surprising that not a single friend or teammate has offered to even lie in collaboration with the young lady by confirming the verbal assault, which would help decrease much of the negative feedback that she is receiving.

[@doniboydsimonson3601]

Isn't an eyewitness as valuable as a soundbite in a court of law?

[@doniboydsimonson3601]

In any case, I'd like to ask God, "What would Christ have me do in this situation"? And no one knows for certain, with the exception of the young lady, if her narrative is real. We don't want to be judged guilty without a fair trial, so we must extend the same courtesy to others.

[@surfish01]

Nah. We need to be calling these people out whenever they say something without evidence. Calling her out now is appropriate after the investigation shows nothing.

[@TerryLParrish-be5od]

Evidence shows Rachel Richardson, the Duke volleyball player, completely lied-completely!!

[@jamesmitchell3615]

I'm what most people call a black man, and believe she either is flat out lying, or she heard something being shouted(especially by the fanatic BYU fans) out her and her team, but it's more than likely NOT a "racial slur". Like any other fan base we get loud and obnoxious at times, and words can get misconstrued, so as I said previously she's either flat out lying or misheard something, that's all!!

[@fisherman3708]

Don't be afraid to say the truth. She lied, like many do who claim victimhood. This is all about BYU not going totally Woke and for defending principles.

[@abitacat]

Again I’m sorry to say these to guys are not up to speed on this story….the Duke player who was approached by the kid who was banned was not the black player who complained….the player he approached may not even been black…
