    So are you saying you wouldn't point it out? Do you only help others when it benefits you, speaks volumes of what type of human you are

    I don't see how fans yelling "cougars" could be mistaken for something else.

    Wow, so you're basically calling him a liar when he said he doesn't remember, is that how you raised your kids?

    Heard a spicy take the other day… Godmother of the player got involved and that was the first time this really took off. Who is she? I heard she is running for office?
    This went from someone yelling the n word… that apparently only one person in the whole arena heard, to escalating to threats .. again that only one person heard..
    With no evidence( well other than gator lawyer “seeing” how teammates looked at the bench and inferring from that.)
    Whole story stinks…

    She's running for a judgeship in Texas for a seat currently held by a Republican in a county that went essentially 50/50 Biden/Trump in 2020 (Tarrant County). The idea that this is helpful to her campaign would only be appealing to somebody who knows absolutely nothing about that area. And you're incorrect in other statements you made:
    ‘I can’t live in fear:’ Lesa Pamplin speaks out on fallout from BYU investigation | Fort Worth Report
    On the morning of Sept. 2, the Tarrant County Criminal Court 5 judge candidate was out with some volunteers. She got a call from her goddaughter’s mother asking Pamplin if she saw her Facebook post. Pamplin, 58, said she had not but checked it when she got home.

    The post detailed that her goddaughter, Rachel Richardson, the only Black starter on the volleyball team at Duke University, heard students yelling racial slurs at her while she was serving during a volleyball game Aug. 26 at Brigham Young University. Pamplin, whose Twitter account is now locked, tweeted about the incident. Those tweets thrust her into the middle of what became a national story.
    * * *
    Photos show the fans are behind the players when they serve, Pamplin said. She also noted that it wasn’t Richardson who initially said something to the coach, but her teammates.

    They didn’t plan some hoax together, she said. She just shared what happened to her family member. “You think it’s bad for me? Think about a 19-year-old,” Pamplin said. “But cruelty is the point.”
    --------------------------------------------------
    The claim that only one person heard the racial slurs is not true.

    In case you don't look at the article and try to argue that doesn't say what I am saying it does:
    "In a separate interview with the Report after appearing on O’Neal’s show, Pamplin, a criminal defense attorney, said that Richardson’s Duke teammates heard the slurs and notified their coach and then the BYU coach was notified, too. A police officer was placed by the Duke bench and a fan was escorted out."

    And I agree with Mike Freeman's points about her having no reason to lie:
    Duke volleyball player is telling truth about racial slur at BYU

    So to be clear… all those other volleyball players have in fact come forward
    and admitted to hearing the racial slurs and the threats? Who else has come forward and said they too heard the slurs and threats.. first hand, not second hand or third hand.

    Thanks for reopening a thread on a failed left media story. I will say the same thing about the new twist as I did about the original story. Where are the videos? You know good and well you can't do things like shouting the N-word in today's world without getting your ass on Youtube.

    That's patently false. But I'm not surprised you are the person to take this stance.

    To be clear, multiple members of the Duke volleyball program reported the racist remarks.

    You do anything in public that people object to today and there will be multiple cell phone cameras going.

    Can you include a link where several Duke volleyball players reported the abuse and came forward in agreement with Richardson. I honestly cannot find one.
    Thanks in advance.

    Edited
    Clarification… I know the teammates took Richardson’s word when she said she heard the slur.. and then the teammate went with Richardson to report it… I still cannot find a teammate who has come out and said Yea, we heard the slurs. First hand. Not second or third.

    And the statement from BYU's conference confirms that account:

    Note that it says members, not a member.
