Sure thing buddy. In a gym with thousands of potential eye witnesses with phones that can take pictures and record videos, yet they have found no evidence that anything actually happened.
Again whatever you need to convince yourself of is completely fine with me. Investigation seems to be ongoing and nothing absolute concludes it didn't happen or even that she lied.
So once again. Assume guilt until proven innocent?
^^how very communist of you comrade^^
I'm not aware of any charges being pressed where guilt can be assumed. Not exactly sure what you're attempting to refer to at this point.
How dare you. its her truth. If she believes in her head she heard a racial slur, then the damage has been done and someone must pay!WestTexasAg said:

University of South Carolina athletics director Ray Tanner and women's basketball coach Dawn Staley faced questions from South Carolina lawmakers on Wednesday.
The group of lawmakers, known as the South Carolina Freedom Caucus, sought clarification for the school's decision to "cancel" a two-game series against the Brigham Young University women's basketball team following accusations from a Duke women's volleyball player that racial slurs were hurled her way during a match against the Cougars. BYU officials later said they had not found any evidence of the incident.
The letter, which was co-signed by 14 lawmakers including Rep. Adam Morgan, R-Greenville, and Rep. RJ May, R-Lexington, called on the university to answer a series of questions pertaining to the alleged Duke-BYU incident.

So far there has been a lot said that this didn't happen. But even if it did it was just probably a few students and you're going to literally punish an entire school for the actions of a few? This is what I can't stand about liberals. They just get way over excited and do these stupid reactions.
And won't you bet if this is proven to be a hoax this dumb ***** will not apologize.

CNN, ABC, ESPN promoted Duke volleyball player's racial slur story, go quiet on developments debunking claim.
…Her claim was never corroborated. In fact, it was discredited.

ABC News correspondent Janai Norman, who spoke with the 19-year-old sophomore, said she was "really impressed" with "how she is handling all of this."
"A lot of grace," co-host George Stephanopoulos reacted.
"Good Morning America" has made no mention of the incident since that broadcast.
ABC News' website also published at least three separate articles about Richardson's allegations but none about the most about the ongoing probes that undermine her credibility.
Quote:
CNN gave her story far more air-time with separate programs echoing Richardson's unchallenged claims.
and much more including ESPN.Quote:
Alisyn Camerota and Victor Blackwell grilled BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe for not taking enough swift action to stop the "racist slurs and threats" immediately.
Weekend anchor Jim Acosta invited on former NAACP president Cornell William Brooks, who spent the interview lambasting BYU's handling of the alleged incident.
"New Day" co-host Brianna Keilar sat down with the student's father, Marvin Richardson, who gave interviews with numerous outlets including ABC News.
CNN's website additionally had six individual links on its website about the story, some recapping its on-air coverage, nothing about the investigation's findings.
A spokesperson for CNN provided no comment.
