USA Today Sports

This is the first article that pops up if you Google "Duke Volleyball Player". This is the sports section of "America's most premier" newspaper, USA Today. This could have been written by an angry Junior High kid.

His big proof is, he just doesn't think she would make it up. That's basically it.

It's something you may not have noticed. It's like QAnon. Or mass voter fraud. It's another conspiracy theory. This one? That Duke volleyball player Rachel Richardson, who said she was called multiple racial slurs while playing in a game at BYU, made the entire thing up.

Who’s the real conspiracy theorist?

The ones who believe something without proof

Or

The ones who wait for proof to believe something?

I’d venture either this or she thought she heard racial slurs, which is just a degree of making something up.

Yep, I have stressed to my kids that you are constantly being recorded, videoed, and or photographed... Better believe if you do something stupid it will come back to you...

Likely this. You get radar ears and hear what you want to hear when you’re getting beat in front of a relatively large, loud crowd that’s right on top of you.

When you live your life searching for ways to be "oppressed" or a "victim"...you find ways to be such...even if none exists.

In a world where cameras are ubiquitous, gaining attention on social media is paramount, and finding anything that can be attributed as an act of "racism"...no matter how tenuous the connection, is "noteworthy", it is quite telling there is not a shred of evidence corroborating the account of the player (actually her relatives...who weren't at the game). Not one.

The school investigated the allegations. The police investigated the allegations. A campus newspaper (something not know as a bastion of conservatism) investigated the allegations more thoroughly than every other news outlet COMBINED and came up with nothing, nada, zip, to corroborate that this MAY have happened...let alone did.

Of course, for the mainstream media and agenda-driven leftists NONE of that matters. "Truth" is abstract and facts are irrelevant. The "truth" is only what someone says it is.

It's 2022. If this happened anywhere in the West in the world, there would be 27 videos, all held vertically, showing the fan screaming racial slurs at the player to shame them into compliance.

Since none exist, this did not happen.

the end.

We should get the term 'Biden Doctrine' trending.


He doctrine can be summed up as anyone who doesn't tow the line of the Democrat Party is an enemy of freedom conspiracy nut extremist.

Without racism the left have nothing.

When it doesn't exist, they have to manufacture it.

All of this.

And truthfully, even regarding the 2020 election, there is actual evidence of irregularities that took place in various states.

Asking pretty basic, common sense questions, and seeking out more facts is suddenly a bad thing. Since when is wanting evidence of a crime racist? I swear, this country has gone off the rails and I see more and more evidence of it daily.

Does this argument work on anyone?

It's like a kid in grade school saying that if you don't give him your lunch money you'll have cooties. It didn't work then and it shouldn't work now.

5000 people in the stands. 36 players and coaches. Game officials and security but the only person who heard the constant harassment was 1 player. Her own teammates and coaches heard nothing including her black teammates. Thousands of cell phones in the arena and no recording. I call BS to the accusation. SHE committed a crime Should be kicked out of school and prosecuted
