  1. The Duke coach should have pulled her team until BYU addressed the situation, which they didn’t do during or after the game. The Duke coach is responsible for her well being. Thank God this father raised his daughter right. smart, brave and beautiful young lady. Sorry that she had to endure this.

    1. @WE THE PEOPLE 🙌 I know your mad getting your top hood ready put 2 circles at the top so I can join other white radicals, were mad mad bc Frumpy didn’t win I bet

  2. The officials who did nothing to stop this racism should face consequences. That young man who threatened Rachel Richardson with physical violence and now he’s banned from attending sports games is not enough of a punishment. And what about the others in the crowd who were shouting racial obscenities to the coloured team members.

    1. @Shlep Messing That is the british spelling. And they still use that term, tho they shouldn’t.

  3. This is all on the NCAA to have policy in place by now to address this . The School should be fine and persons removed and Banded from attending any other events.

  4. Under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972: No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.

  5. The coaches let the 19 year old down. They should have stopped the game until the heckling was taken care of.

    1. @rogue sheep exactly but the good old days weren’t very good for 75% of population. I’m from north of the border and I’m just shaking my head

  6. The ncaa makes big money off of players of colors and doesn’t respect them enough to keep them protected.

    1. Yea that’s what is happening not like a free all paid scholarship when you failed in high school. And simply get a free ride because of skin color.

  7. Either the Coaches and Other Fans were to scared to intervene or They Agreed with the Racist Remarks

    1. They definitely aren’t afraid. If anything they just didn’t care. Some people just lack empathy but feel entitled for others empathy when something happens to them

  8. Officials should have stopped the game and declared BYU forfeited the match to send a message. That would have prompted BYU to take action next time to prevent something like that from ever happening again. When we send our children off to school, we expect adults to protect them, including her own coaches who could have walked the Duke team off the court in protest.

  9. *This is what actually happened. This video is not for kids, it’s shocking* EVERYDAYS.ICU
    Mr. Dunn – respect to you.

    1. Trying to hack people’s accounts and devices by posting malicious links.

      Do…not…click…

  10. I’ve been a BYU fan for a while been to lots of games and I didn’t even know this was going on till now I’m shocked and disappointed that they didn’t step in and take action immediately if I was a cop at the game I’d arrest the guy On the spot and for harassment charges

    1. for freedom of speech? even hate speech is free speech.
      you’d be facing a lawsuit for wrongful arrest there pal. all you can do is ask him to leave. if he doesn’t leave then you can arrest them for trespassing but not for their speech unless they threatened great bodily harm or death.

  11. I wonder why they aren’t showing his picture ? This is done to protect him and his future. No consequences!

  12. Can anyone imagine the outrage on the right if white players were heckled as honkeys and crackers at a game at an HBC venue?

  13. This just makes me so incredibly sad, I tired of our current atmosphere that allows things like this to be ok, if coaches did nothing, those coaches should have to forfeit the game and face disciplinary actions.

  14. This is an amazing video and I enjoyed every bit of it. It’s another time of the year. One need to set goals and take bold steps in achieving them. Remember success are not obtained overnight. It comes in installment; you get a little bit today and a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate you lose that day of success.

    1. @Steven McCarthy I’m glad you advised to look his name online to see his portfolio,this is very important, making your own research is very essential. Thank you so much.

    2. @Clifford Burkhalter I have been into gold investment since 2018 and no much improvement compared to working with Mr Frank McIntosh, no doubt he’s the best, just decided to get into Bitcoin trading and it’s been profitable than gold so far.

    3. @Steven McCarthy That’s interesting, I’ve heard of many traders, really do hope he can help me. I’d really love to venture into crypto using his service; just looked him up and found out she is registered, does he have a minimum to work with?

    4. @Clifford Burkhalter I’m not sure if he has a minimum but you can contact him as he’s in the best option to answer that.

    5. @Steven McCarthy This is a great info, I remember my friends calling me crazy when I started investing in digital assets, now i shut them up with the current growth.

  15. So shameful. What are we becoming? To allow this type of conduct to be openly done, without any immediate action is inexcusable.
    Which means all those sitting around listening and hearing this crap are just as guilty or enablers themselves.

  16. And they couldn’t have him removed at the time. Unreal. No wonder they keep doing it.
    So sorry for the team.

  17. It’s really crazy how we can’t even evolve as a society and we could never understand what this father was going through🤔
