Ridiculous decision by Duke! Athletes should be safer in the team bubble than the average college student.

Who actually cares?

Not really news anymore. We all surrender to the pointlessness of it all. All hail the end of russian influence.😩

Seriously, they are going to cancel their season because no one gambles on women's college basketball or gets any television contract money from it. The men's team can play but the women's can't? StopWomensSuffrage

I guess it is safe enough for the men? This is pure sexism!

So the extremely healthy and physically fit women's basketball players are high risk? The survival rate is over 99.9%. You know we're not free when every GOVERNMENT run institution(including you CNN) goes along with this OBVIOUS hoax.

Democratic politicians have robbed and violated every American with voter fraud We stand with Trump

Duke would never with their men’s team because of the money they bring in. college athletes deserve to be paid

Good decision. The players, coaching staff, refs and statisticians health comes FIRST.

But the men will play. Showing the huge discrepancies how men’s sports are treated vs women. And discrimination on the university level

This is an excerpt from an interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber. At least he’s no longer being censored, he’s honest & I trust what he says even if it’s not good news....
