    BYU women's volleyball - 2022

    New season deserves a new thread.

        That is the part of this that doesn't make any sense to me. I do not doubt that it happened...but how did folks just allow it to happen? And they put a law enforcement officer on the bench to protect the player. Why not just yank the MF out of the stands and kick him out? Why didn't the Duke coaches call bullshit on this and pause the game or pull the girls off the floor? Why just allow it to continue?

        I don't blame BYU....they did what they could after the fact, and I appreciate that. But how is someone from BYU not alerted or wonder why an LEO was placed on the bench? Things just don't add up in my mind.

          Yeah something has to be off. It will be interesting to get more information on what happened. Really unfortunate.

            Second statement by BYU. More details.

            BYU Athletics has issued a second statement regarding the racial slurs a banned fan said to Duke Volleyball player Rachel Richardson.

                        It’s never a bad day to steer clear of twitter.

                            "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
