On Friday, August 26th, the Duke University volleyball team took the court against Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. 5,507 fans gathered for the contest – a school record for women’s volleyball.
Following the match, reports surfaced claiming Duke player Rachel Richardson was a victim of racial heckling from a person in the BYU student section. Richardson’s Godmother, Lesa Pamplin, who is running for circuit court judge in Fort Worth, Texas, tweeted, “My Goddaughter is the only black starter on Duke’s volleyball team. While playing yesterday, she was called a n***er every time she served.”
