Duke and Oberlin Shamed for Fake Racism Charges
9 Sep 2022
There was an allegation in late August of a racial slur being uttered on the volleyball court at BYU in a match against Duke.
.@ClayTravis: Why is Outkick probably going to be the only sports site that will cover the fact that the racial slur at a BYU-Duke volleyball game was false?

This is one of the few places you’ve heard about this story.
Fetterman isn’t up to the job, Smollett on the volleyball court, Newsom ramps up authoritarianism, and interviews with Cameron Sexton and Ron Johnson.@ClayTravis and @BuckSexton tackle all of this and more.

The subtext was, “How dare these white, Mormon, religious people, be so racist during a sporting event that they would be hurling racial slurs at a black woman’s volleyball player?”

Well, BYU conducted an exhaustive review — they went and reviewed every audio file, every video — and there is zero evidence that any racial slurs were used during this match at all.
After an exhaustive investigation, BYU announces they have found zero evidence of any racial slur & they apologized to the fan who was kicked out, saying he did nothing wrong. This was Jussie Smollett on a volleyball court. Duke should be ashamed. https://t.co/XtNEeusIHX

Now, BYU was thrown completely under the bus, although you’d think Duke would know better after everyone jumped to conclusions in the Duke lacrosse case.
This is now Jussie Smollett on the volleyball court, and for questioning the story when the rest of the media feared to, did Clay get praise? No. USA Today called him a “right-wing extremist.”

There needs to be a lot more in the way of apologies, including the special-needs fan banned because the player here accused him of shouting this slur.
Who thinks now would be a good time for @GovCox to publicly apologize for jumping the gun and calling a special needs person a “racist a**hole” without waiting for the evidence? And then resign as governor?

It brings to mind the case of Gibson’s Bakery involving Ohio’s Oberlin College in Ohio in 2019. They called the police on legitimate crime being perpetrated in their fifth-generation shop, and got smeared as racists. Now Oberlin College has agreed to pay $36.59 million in damages to the bakery.
The job of the press is to ask questions about anything that happens, to find the truth, but the leftists want to discourage anyone from daring to question their narratives.
Duke finally released a statement on the BYU investigation and it’s an embarrassment.
Your university’s statement is a disgrace. This is Duke Lacrosse all over again, lies supported and propagated by your failed leadership. This is Jussie Smollett on a volleyball court. Choose facts over identity politics. https://t.co/lJMo2RFEfX
