Duke volleyball player refused to let 'racist bigots' get to her

PROVO, Utah — A Duke University volleyball player who was subjected to racial harassment at Friday's game against BYU has issued a new statement.

Her statement goes on to praise the conduct of the members of the BYU Volleyball team and BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe, who she says was"quick to act in a very respectful and genuine manor."— rachel richards August 28, 2022 Richardson admitted that while the slurs directed at her took a"mental toll" on her playing ability, she refused to let it stop her from playing.

He closed his comments by encouraging BYU fans to cheer for their teams, but to not"cross the line where you would hurt or harm anyone in anyway." Just catching up on this terrible story. I’m disgusted that this behavior is happening and deeply saddened if others didn’t step up to stop it. As a society we have to do more to create an atmosphere where racist a**holes like this never feel comfortable attacking others. https://t.co/8vwbVGtzNj

So thankful for a fanbase that represents my state and my religion in such a fantastic way. *SIGH*

Hateful bigoted cult does not tolerate racism… from non-faculty. How long is the ban for? Nobody dealt with this non-student fan the entire match. Let it go on and on. Too little, too late in my opinion.
