'Heckle responsibly': Basketball players, line monitors, speak at first-ever K-Ville DEI town hall
I usually don't buy into the whole "DEI ruining everything!!" stuff but this may be the worst thing I have ever seen. Imagine some loser telling you how to talk shite to the opposing team

Line monitors and players and coaching staff on the men’s basketball team spoke to tenters about promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in Krzyzewskiville at K-Ville's first-ever DEI town hall.
The Wednesday event was held by K-Ville’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee and began with a presentation led by K-Ville Director of DEI Sonia Gazula, a senior, and line monitors Juliana Alfonso-DeSouza, a junior, and Chanté Davis, a sophomore.
quote:
“The goal of the line monitors is to enhance the undergraduate Duke experience in Cameron and keep the spirit and traditions of Duke basketball alive. In order to do our job effectively, we are trying to keep diversity, equity and inclusion at the forefront of those things,” Davis said. “We hope to build a better K-Ville for everyone.”
The line monitors began by emphasizing that tenters should “treat others the way [they] want to be treated.” Other major points included barring the use of slurs inside Cameron Indoor Stadium and asking students to refrain from letting stereotypes make a first impression.

The moderators focused on DEI practices followed by the basketball team and coaches.
Responding to a question on how cultural differences are perceived and addressed among players and coaches, Blakes said that sports is a “great example of inclusivity.”
“At the end of the day, there is a winner or loser in basketball, so you're doing your best to work together as a unit to successfully reach that goal,” he said.
Savarino spoke on Duke’s specific role in implementing DEI practices, stating that the number of women working within the men's basketball program is higher than that of the majority of the country.

I support this. They need to start by ending the body shamming (being tall and athletic is exclusionary) and should add players over 450lbs and under 5'2'.

Diversity is our greatest strength might be a bigger load of horse crap than global warming BS.

Wait, so are they saying that the White, Jewish, and Asian opposing players should be heckled as much as the opposing Black players?

I miss when DEI meant Dale Earnhardt Incorporated.

I’m sure we will get an explanation soon as to why this is getting blown out of proportion and it’s just “Trumptards” blowing hot air.

These things have nothing to do with D, E, or I.
If they truly wanted to enforce equity, freshman students who were on the verge of failing out should be getting just as many halfcourt tickets and access to as many NCAA tourney tickets as high achieving seniors. Live your values you effing commies.

Students focused on asking the panel what could be done to encourage more members of the student body to attend basketball games.
Robinson suggested that students reach out to people unfamiliar with sports or basketball and encourage them to take part in something integral to the Duke experience.
I would’ve believed that this was a Bee article if not for clicking the link. I can’t wait until the Cameron crazies end up being a bunch of nerds sitting there on their phones or half empty as the students who “want” to be involved are limited and not allowed to attend and more “diverse” students are given their spots even though the actual fans camped out for days before a game. lol losers.
