BYU completes investigation into Duke player's racial slur allegations, finds no evidence to corroborate claim

Brigham Young University announced Friday morning that, following an "extensive" investigation, there has been no evidence to corroborate an allegation made by a Duke women’s volleyball player that she was subjected to racial slurs during a game at BYU last month.

The Cougars athletics department released a lengthy statement summarizing its investigation into an Aug. 26 incident where Duke player Rachel Richardson claimed she was "targeted and racially heckled throughout the entirety of the match," which then evolved into "threats."

Richardson alleged that BYU officials and coaches were made "aware of the incident" at the time but failed to act.

On Friday, BYU revealed its findings and found no evidence to support Richardson’s claim.

"From our extensive review, we have not found any evidence to corroborate the allegation that fans engaged in racial heckling or uttered racial slurs at the event. As we stated earlier, we would not tolerate any conduct that would make a student-athlete feel unsafe. That is the reason for our immediate response and our thorough investigation," the statement read.

Duke responded in a statement saying it "unequivocally" stands with its team, but did not outwardly address BYU's findings:

“Starting a conversation”

OR:

“Finding no use of racial slurs proves how structural white supremacy is built in to this racist patriarchal white society.”

I grew up in the Deep South. We didn’t use the dreaded word nearly as much as they do. Frankly, we didn’t talk about them much at all. If things are as bad as many claim, it is in the democrat run cities only. It is simply a ploy to keep blacks stirred up and somehow voting democrat. I will never understand it.

You mean racism is being used as a weapon? Oh, I get it. Only certain groups can claim racism while other groups are always guilty.
