shouting obscenities during a college football game on Saturday.

"To all @BYUfootball fans in attendance at todays game we would like to apologize for the actions of the students in attendance. We do not condone or support any hateful speech directed towards one’s religion and are ashamed of those who participated," it tweeted. Although Oregon was quick to respond after videos emerged, mainstream media largely ignored the incident as well as the university’s apology. MSNBC and CNN had no reports on the event, though NBC reported on the story on Sunday afternoon.

The New York Times and the Washington Post also have been silent on the story as well, even though the Washington Post reported on the game on Thursday. Media outlets were quick to report on the story. ABC News’ website published at least three articles on the allegations and featured Richardson on"Good Morning America." CNN featured several segments on the topic including interviews with Richardson’s father, former NAACP president Cornell William Brooks and BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe. The story was also heavily featured on ESPN.

Wrong. It was played everywhere. Fox lying again.

The so called media were too busy 'reporting' on the Duke volleyball player's racial hoax narrative against BYU. The media will never cover a factual story when they can focus on the newest racially motivated hoax.

How it started: BYU honors Oregon player Spencer Webb 8, who tragically died in July. How it ended: Oregon fans chant 'F the Mormons'.

Watch out usa, if romash get inside to your territory he will blow the the stadium, 👇 don't allow him or his anyone to Settle in usa,because everything is happening, romash as bane and his daughter as talia,and which is told before in 2012 dark knight rises,

It is good that other fans shut down the vulgar attacks, but it still should have been addressed by the media.

Liberal Oregon… is anyone surprised of their classless bigotry? It’s in their political blood.
