Show Notes
We typically see ourselves as a comedic volleyball podcast, but unfortunately some serious events happen in the volleyball world that need to be talked about. This past weekend a Duke volleyball player was repeatedly called racial slurs as she went back to serve during a match between Duke and BYU. She stated that she was "targeted and racially heckled throughout the entirety of the match" which took place in front of 5,000 spectators. Sadly in our experience playing in front of the BYU crowd, this is not the first time something like this has happened. We are sharing her story and our teammate's experiences playing in front of the BYU crowd, hoping to educate and make a change in these hateful environments.
