The newspaper they have to give away for free, USA Today, has an piece defending this Duke volleyball player.
(USA TODAY):Right-wing conspiracy theory involving #Duke volleyball player is absurd | #Opinion : I believe Duke’s Rachel Richardson. In many ways, this story is about race and how Black people have to constantly prove we’re not .. https://t.co/Ks2zZuANYJ

They’re attacking anyone who is daring to raise questions about the fact that there isn’t a single bit of corroborating evidence of her allegations that BYU shouted racial slurs at her.
You’d think Duke, which immediately believed 100% false allegations about their lacrosse team in 2006, would have waited for corroborating evidence of racism from a BYU volleyball match. But they didn’t. They blamed BYU for a Jussie hoax. Shameful: pic.twitter.com/bjua7j8M6F

They say “right-wing extremist Clay Travis” dares to question whether a racial slur was uttered. Isn’t that the job of media, to dig through the claims and allegations in an effort to find the truth?
A former BYU women’s basketball player — and a woman of color, by the way — called us up to defend the BYU community, which has been called racist.
