PROVO, Utah — A Duke University volleyball player who was subjected to racial harassment at Friday's game against BYU has issued a new statement.
Her statement goes on to praise the conduct of the members of the BYU Volleyball team and BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe, who she says was"quick to act in a very respectful and genuine manor."— rachel richards August 28, 2022 Richardson admitted that while the slurs directed at her took a"mental toll" on her playing ability, she refused to let it stop her from playing.
He closed his comments by encouraging BYU fans to cheer for their teams, but to not"cross the line where you would hurt or harm anyone in anyway." Just catching up on this terrible story. I’m disgusted that this behavior is happening and deeply saddened if others didn’t step up to stop it. As a society we have to do more to create an atmosphere where racist a**holes like this never feel comfortable attacking others. https://t.co/8vwbVGtzNj

BYU Athletics Department bans non-student fan for using racial slurs at volleyball game vs. DukeThe BYU Athletics Department said it banned a fan from all athletic venues after the individual — who was not a student — shouted racial slurs during a volleyball game Friday night. Hateful bigoted cult does not tolerate racism… from non-faculty. How long is the ban for? Nobody dealt with this non-student fan the entire match. Let it go on and on. Too little, too late in my opinion.

Fan banned from BYU matches after allegedly shouting racist slurs at Duke volleyball playerA fan who shouted racist slurs and threatened a Black Duke University volleyball player during a game against Brigham Young University has been banned from BYU sporting events. Too late, he should have been escorted out of the sports facility immediately. What's wrong with BYU? Is this all? So BYU (and Axios) name the victim and withholds - protects - the identity of the repeated PUBLIC abuser. In what university is that even close to a reasonable official response? In BYU’s universe, apparently.
