So we just pretend like it didn’t happen now?
BYU scoured through every bit of film and audio from the Duke game, interviewed a lot of fans including duke fans and players and found no evidence of any racial slurs or threats made towards duke players, or at all in that matter, and now has lifted the ban on the fan and issued an apology for that fan being the target of a false accusation.
This is Jussie smollett all over, this time orchestrated by the players grandma who’s running for an office, has history herself of saying things like “white men are trash” and constantly brings up race and is in general a divisive figure herself.
The media and everyone once again took this bait and ran with it, social justice warriors and virtue signalers were foaming at the mouth to disparage BYU.
South Carolina’s coach cancelled their game with them and still won’t reschedule it.
It’s laughable that this is the time in our lives where the fewest racial incidents happen because it’s just not how the vast majority of society believes yet people act like it’s the 1860s.
Duke needs to apologize and this story shouldn’t just be swept under the rug. There should be a lawsuit you can’t cry wolf like this, this was extremely damaging to the BYU brand and all because a duke team was getting their asses kicked in front of a great crowd that just so happens to be in a place where it’s mainly white people.

Also, I thought it was weird that every single media outlet accused the guy of yelling “a racial slur” but not once did they identify what it was he was yelling. Then the grandmother posted on Twitter that he was yelling “n——-“ at her, which if true seemed like it would be more identifiable in footage.
After that accusation, BYU played Oregon in football, and half their stadium was chanting “f—- the Mormons” and I haven’t heard a public outcry about that on any major network.

RE: So we just pretend like it didn’t happen now?
The grandmother had a history of anti-white racism and being involved in race hoaxes. Not only that, the Duke volleyball player who was the accuser liked a racist post on Twitter of a black man with a whip and three white men kneeling in a field in front of him, prepared to be whipped. Saw it myself. Then the next day she deleted her entire account. There are people who want to run with narratives regardless of the given facts of a case. It's too convenient for media not to pile on because it is BYU.
South Carolina canceling the game over this seems like a political move in an election year to appease members of the team more than anything based on substance of any kind.
