BYU says it has banned a fan from its athletic venues for repeatedly directing a racial slur at a Duke volleyball player on Friday night, but the player's father says the university did not immediately kick the fan out of the event.
BYU volleyball coach did not show up meeting with player the next day, the Duke player’s father says.
“My Goddaughter is the only Black starter for Dukes volleyball team,” Pamplin wrote on Twitter. “While playing yesterday, she was called a n— every time she served. She was threatened by a white male that told her to watch her back going to the team bus. A police officer had to be put by their bench.”
“I don’t know why you would ask a police officer to stand on the floor unless there is a fear that something is going on that shouldn’t be happening,” he continued. “I believe that was the case.”
