Another racial hoax: BYU volleyball game

He was in MÁGA country (in South Side Chicago), don't question his lived experience!

They are now cancelling games over something that is now almost universally understood to have never happened?

It's like Johnson staying in Vietnam.

That's too bad. The Woke moral panic and hysteria of 2020 seemed to have died down this year. It's unfortunate the media decided to bring it back for another run. Let's hope it fails, and they move matters that actually have national importance.

I mean in general this entire situation in a nutshell is why America is broken and is never being fixed no matter who is in government, what the "ideology of the month" is.

At first principal level we are talking about a freaking incident that we can't seem to even agree on the validity of - on either side. Think about how ridiculous that is - you can't tell me that there wasn't at least on objective outsider there that can corroborate the actual series of events. But then not even that is enough - if they are white "of course that's what they would say", if they are black " they are just afraid to be honest because xyz", I mean we all bleat on about f--king facts and the moment one comes out someone is questioning it or giving a reason as to why it must be manufactured.

So really there are no such things as facts anymore and now we have retaliation like this just pouring fuel on the fire with potentially no basis to.

As for my opinion on what went down? I find it personally very hard to believe that the types of extreme racists that would repeatedly yell this word at an innocent young woman, would seek out a women's college volleyball game as a forum for their vitriol and I also find it hard to believe that everyone else in that section of fans are such racists of equal magnitude that they would all be on the same page with respect to denying it ever happened. But that's just coming from a non American who tends to think more rationally than emotionally on these issues.

BYU investigating this is like the SS investigating a nazi. BYU is a Mormon school,same Mormons whose leader said God told him black people were not humans.The Mormons are a den of racist pedophiles.

BYU should sue the godmom and U South Carolina.

it’s the only logical defense for ANYBODY facing defamation… especially at that level.

The truth doesn't matter. What matters is what people think happened, and once a story about racism gets spread online, there are enough people out there who will automatically believe it to be true and cannot be convinced otherwise. These people will spread that misinformation and the lie grow. There's a lot of people who seem to WANT there to be something to be outraged at, that's why they're so motivated to believe in these hoaxes despite the facts.

That thing thangin in 'em volleyball shorts

yes. So do think it's ok to call me a N-----r then? You have enough integrity to stand by your words? Or you going to back pedal back pedal back pedal.....

lol.....(chirp ...chirp ....chirp)

You are 100% right and the thing that is just mind blowing is that we as a society have been right here before with the Duke Lacrosse team debacle. Seriously if someone can explain how this is fundamentally any different to that situation I'd like to hear it.

We have a situation grounded on racial impropriety that has been fueled by people not even at the event in question, where people have jumped to conclusions and taken drastic measures which could have serious impact on potentially innocent peoples lives. I mean some people have short memories don't they - The Duke situation nearly ended the lives (figuratively and in some cases literally as kids were ready to kill themselves over it) and careers of some of those and now we just want to go down this road again with the verdict before the f-ing arraignment.

I'll tell you what the biggest tragedy is? That the more these potentially bogus stories get plugged as reality and eventually debunked, the more it draws away credibility and attention to real acts of racism and vitriol. The saddest part is that these people "fighting for justice" are actually just selfish a$$holes trying to leverage situations for their own causes and they couldn't care less about the damage it potentially does, they just scurry away waiting for the next opportunity.

Let's hear more facts if that's possible and not hearsay from people not even in attendance.

Lol...

Time to stand up to the "wokes" and tell them to "pound sand"...Decent people need to fight back...it's time for war.

Time to stand up to the racists like you....Decent people need to fight back.

Making false accusations and/or perpetuating lies can also ruin the lives of the people who do it. In the Duke Lacrosse case, the lead prosecutor was disbarred, the lead detective committed suicide in 2014, and the accuser (who clearly suffered from mental health issues and was used by so many people to further an agenda) never got the help she needed, and now sits in prison for murder after stabbing her boyfriend to death.

It may take a really long time, but living a lie eventually catches up to you.

REPORT: South Carolina Fans Spit on Missouri Women's Basketball Team and Called Them Racial Slurs

​​The South Carolina Gamecocks (7) and Missouri Tigers (15) women's basketball teams squared off this past Sunday in South Carolina with the Gamecocks...

What's mind blowing is that in a country with as troubled a racial past (and present) as our own......it's the Duke incident which is pointed out as the 'debacle' and 'the biggest tragedy.' Maybe time to brush up on your history.

You're talking about people jumping to conclusions, yet it's the LRC crowd that just can't wait to call an incident a 'hoax' before all the facts and evidence come out.

Was the BYU incident a 'hoax'? We'll see, we probably won't ever know for sure. I'm a bit divided myself. The story about the kid following her to her team bus because he 'mistook her for his friend' seems just a little fishy.

There's several possibilities and explanations for what might have happened, and anyone jumping in right now and saying they know 100% what happened is clearly wrong.

What's really strange and a bit alarming is the emotional vigor in which a segment of the LRC crowd jumps in to proclaim everyone of these incidents a 'hoax' with near religious glee.

It's just weird.

It's also telling that some of the same posters who say things like 'slavery wasn't that bad' and say that calling flag kneelers racial slurs is OK, just happen to be the quickest and loudest voices to call these reported racist. incidents 'hoaxes'

Did someone yell racial slurs at a BYU volleyball game? We don't know. There's definitely evidence to support the possibility that it didn't happen.

What we do know is that people in the US do yell racial slurs at black players and we do know that at least one poster in this thread thinks that's ok.

Was there a racist incident at that volley game? Maybe, maybe not. But there is w/o a doubt a racists in this country and on this board.

In a podcast about volleyball a former men’s ucla volleyball player talks about two incidents that happened when UCLA played BYU. And a former Hawaii talks about an incident where a slur was yelled the only time he played at BYU.

they know byu players and the coach and don’t blame them. they think Mormons are nice people but maybe a small minority in the community get too amped up during matches. they note in the incidents they experienced in wasn’t BYU students.
