Questions arise over alleged racial slurs at college volleyball match | Dan Abrams Live

Brigham Young University is still investigating who was responsible for allegedly yelling racial slurs at a Duke University player during a volleyball match. John Ziegler, host of the podcast "With the Benefit of Hindsight," says the media was duped and quick to accept a s ingle narrative about the incident without asking questions.
Dan Abrams Live brings a fresh, no-holds-barred approach to covering and analyzing the news.

BYU AD should be fired. He threw the BYU students under the bus before hearing any investigation to see if the story was even true.

I’m begging for someone in the media to ask the Duke players if they heard it!! The Duke player stated BYU and officials did nothing when told about her claims. That is a statement that is a proven lie. BYU Coach Olmstead immediately reported it to the event staff and they directed the police officer to stand between the ROC and the Duke bench to address any improper activity. They also sent 4 ushers into the ROC to question and report any impropriety. The police officer also stated a Duke official stood beside him monitoring the situation as well. Why haven’t any Duke coaches, players or officials been questioned on the record? The young man who’s been punished deserves to be vindicated. Video footage clearly shows he was not present when she served a couple of times and can be seen using his phone the other time she served. How can we not believe all of the evidence reported by BYU when Duke hasn’t officially said anything??

I think the only way for BYU to address this is to file a lawsuit for defamation against this Duke student. She caused damage worth millions to BYU (monetary and reputation). They will do this to regain their reputation, not for the money. If they don't sue then these people will continue to be held unaccountable.

No one wants to bother to actually know what happened..jumping to conclusions based on their own biases.

[rhpicayune]

So NOBODY caught the alleged racial slur being yelled on their phone ?!??

Why not get an interview with the Duke black player and get her on camera to repeat what her aunt said.

[oldschoolsaint]

Nonsense. The young lady insisted that she was being harassed with racial slurs throughout the game. She claims that her black teammates heard it all. BYU just completed an investigated where they interviewed Duke players. They've concluded the slurs were never uttered. It was a hoax.

[philp]

Duke, of all colleges, should know how horrible false accusations are.

[wondergirls]

Ms Juicy Smullet 🤣🤣 And she lost the game

[theoptimist]

Thank you for highlighting the Lies of Duke and the Duke volleyball player…and her Godmother!!!

[loneliason]

Well done, Dan. Too little too late to help BYU. But it seems quite strange that 5000 fans, all equipped with phones and cameras never heard anything of the sort.

[MA-rihe]

Haha 😂 Never fear Crump is near to get your settlement. By the time he finishes the entire crowd will be guilty for not hearing it.

The first time I heard this story was on ABC's Good Morning America (a program on which Dan Abrams frequently appears.) If I recall correctly it was reported by black, ex-football star, Michael Strahan. I watch Good Morning America virtually every weekday morning and have not seen any follow up to inform its audience of the possibility that events may not have occurred as described.
If Mr Abrams truly embodied the integrity he tries to portray, he would refuse to appear on that show until corrective action is taken. I am not holding my breath.

Rap music says the word 10, 000 times a minute

[giddy]

magine rallying around the liar instead of the fan that was falsely banned and now unbanned and the school byu that now has a stigma of racism around it becuz of a lie

[casedismissed]

"questions arise" are you for real? how about this being A BOLD FACED end of story

[chin_chillinthomas]

If this doesn't pan out, she can accuse the Duke Men's lacrosse team of something. Give Al a call and he can put that together.

[iancaen]

I think both Duke and U of South Carolina should rename their respective volleyball and basketball courts the Brawley Smollett Richardson Athletic Facility's.

People who know…the Salt Lake Tribune does not cowtow to BYU

[michaelvonahnen]

The problem here is, your left with BYU a Christian school being blamed for the media’s behavior. Lack of responsibility and accountability.
