Another Race-Bait Hoax: Duke-BYU Volleyball

A breathless media recounted a white man yelling the N word at a Duke volleyball player who is black.

The godmother of one of Duke’s African American players, Lesa Pamplin, tweeted, “My Goddaughter is the only Black starter for Duke’s volleyball team. While playing yesterday, she was called a n— every time she served. She was threatened by a white male that told her to watch her back going to the team bus. A police officer had to be put by their bench.”

The player liked the story so much, she jumped aboard.

quote:

“My fellow African American teammates and I were targeted and racially heckled throughout the entirety of the match. The slurs and comments grew into threats which caused us to feel unsafe. Both the officials and the BYU coaching staff were made aware of the incident during the game, but failed to take the necessary steps to stop the unacceptable behavior and create a safe environment. As a result, my teammates and I had to struggle just to get through the rest of the game.”

Obviously, these are truth tellers. No one has ever lied about a racial slur being spoken. Believe all women.*

“It wasn’t until after the game that an individual was identified by Duke who they believed (was) uttering the slurs and exhibiting problematic behaviors. That is the individual who has been banned. We understand that the Duke players’ experience is what matters here. They felt unsafe and hurt, and we were unable to address that during the game in a manner that was sufficient.”

And then, predictably, 24 hours go by and actual proof is sought. And things get stickier.

The Tribune reported that a campus officer examining game footage wrote in his report, “There was nothing seen on the game film that led me to believe (that the man) was the person who was making comments to the player who complained about being called the N-word.”

According to The Tribune: “During the match’s second set, the officer observed, the UVU (Utah Valley University) student was not present when Richardson was serving, which is when Richardson’s family and Duke officials said the slurs were yelled. And later, when she was serving again, he was playing on his phone, the officer wrote.

---

Luckily for the safety of all, they banned the evil white male from all future volleyball games.

Oh. And a police officer stationed by the Duke bench didn’t hear any racial slurs.

No justice. No peace.
