He can barely spell, much less read

So it was your opinion that this story is made up? It sounded like you were claiming that the article proved that it was made up

  another duke lacrosse incident?  hmmm....not necessarily, but another example of the media and people jumping to conclusions before they know what happened, then slow to do follow-ups and/or corrections, if at all.  media/"journalism" is despicably gone 

[tower912]

Widely accepted that something was yelled.  IMO, unlikely to ever know by whom.   Coward.

1) The article you shared does not say the Duke volleyball player made it up and nothing was ever yelled her way. Maybe read the article.
2) This wasn’t a made up media story even if the Duke player did make up having a racial slur yelled at her. BYU banned a fan for yelling racial slurs. The media didn’t do that or cause that.

Every time you post you put your foot in your mouth. Hope you have a good dentist!

Wow, great work.  This is a 9 out of 10.  Really appreciate the effort here

3) Even if it turns out the player made up the story, it is still a story worth media coverage.

dude-i didn't post the article to reference my opinion!!  just wait and watch what happens here is what i'm saying...oh, and have a good BLM

yes it is very worthy of media coverage, but too many conclusions are being drawn without all of the facts.  now where has this happened before?

When we spent years trying to prove a president was born in a different country?

So why did you post the article? And how did you form your opinion? If you didn’t form the opinion that the player made up claims of racial slurs being yelled her way because of this article, then you just decided any claims of racism are fake or what?

[tower912]

Too much ivermectin.

Too much ivermectin.

Honestly, not enough.

 how about just proving what i said was wrong or not.  i could post numerous articles showing the duke player is lying and her whole schtick is another jucy smoley thing and i can post numerous articles believing her without any evidence except her word.  so tell me what's going on BLM boy.  is she lying or is she telling the truth?  i am honestly not sure yet, so you tell me

3) Even if it turns out the player made up the story, it is still a story worth media coverage.

Meaning what exactly?  It's worth covering because she made it up in this scenario?  Or are you saying it's worth covering because these things constantly happen if if she made up the story?

You’re the one claiming she’s ruining an innocent man’s life with absolutely no proof. She didn’t point out who it was. Provide your support. Not some article that you claim doesn’t support your opinion, you just shared it…just because, I guess.

[MuggsyB]

Perhaps we should wait for all the facts to come out?

then prove me wrong and yes, we need more facts to come out.  so far BYU is having trouble corroborating the duke volleyball players assertions however.  note the backlash BYU is getting without all the facts-interesting

Prove you wrong on what? That's an honest question, your posts in this thread have been very hard to understand.

  BLM/wades was trying to pin me down on the issue that the duke women's volleyball player made up her racial heckling charges against a BYU fan.  i was trying to broach the subject without tipping my hand until further evidence came out either way.  now it is appearing more and more as though she did make up the charges of racial heckling.  there doesn't seem to be any evidence otherwise and duke needs to issue a statement.  either stand by their player or not.  if not, one would believe some kind of reprimand would be in order.  these kinds of incidences need to stop and unless there is some kind of reprimand, they will continue to hurt innocent people which tend to be very unfortunately irrevocable in today's society

Yes. White people have it so hard in this country.

You shared an article that said the guy they banned is not the guy that yelled racial slurs. And then you claimed you weren’t using the article to support your opinion. Lol.

You didn't answer the question, prove you wrong on what?

And what evidence have you found that she made it up?

BTW, in case you didn't know,  articles with the word "opinion" in the URL are opinion articles, not news

[rocket surgeon]

   "And what evidence have you found that she made it up?"

  interesting that the media ran with this story without thoroughly checking it out...umm, doing "journalism" things

BYU and it's investigation(S) have found no corroborating evidence, video, audio or witnesses.  one would think something like this would have stuck out a little.  someone screaming the "N" throughout the match?  maybe even a guilty mind sitting next to the alleged racist? 

MSNBC, CNN and ALL the rest have essentially stopped reporting on it

so now, the evidence needed that she made it up or not really should fall back onto the accuser(s)

tamu, i really wish none of this happened.  but true or false claims of anything volatile or inappropriate need to be addressed so they diminish the chances of them continuing to occur.

if rachel richardson's accusations continue to be proven to be untrue, it dilutes the illicit actions that do actually occur
