Duke volleyball player says BYU officials were slow to react to racist slurs

• Rachel Richardson was subjected to slurs throughout game
• Fan has been banned from university's athletic venues

The Duke volleyball player who was subjected to racist slurs during a match at BYU said on Sunday that officials onsite didn't react quickly enough when they were made aware of the behavior during play. Nor did they adequately address the situation immediately after the game, Rachel Richardson said in a statement posted to her Twitter account.

No athlete, regardless of their race should ever be subject to such hostile conditions," said Richardson, the only Black starter on the Blue Devils team.
