    Varsity/JV practices - combined vs. separate

    This was very close to what I remember from that system, except our Freshman were completely separate.

    Varsity/JV practices - combined vs. separate

    There are about 50 kids at each level. This system has not been successful for this team. They had two wins (at each level) last year, and frankly expect fewer this year. Beyond the wins and losses, I felt that the combined system helped build camaraderie and pride across the whole program.

    Varsity/JV practices - combined vs. separate

    I played for St. Xavier during Steve Rasso’s tenure. The school my son goes to is similar in size - D1.

    Varsity/JV practices - combined vs. separate

    My son has recently started playing high school football out here in California at the JV level. He doesn’t drive yet so I took him to and from all of his summer workouts and practices and I pick him up after practices now during the school year. So I have seen some of their practices. I noticed...

    Restaurant chains that are no more

    In Cincinnati, The Chili Company had good breakfast foods and pretty decent sandwiches. Just don’t order the chili.

    Newsome pushing for reparation payments to blacks

    Anything for Asians? I mean, they were treated much worse than African Americans. At least in California, that is.

    Duke University volleyball player claims she had racial slurs hurled at her during a game against BYU

    It’s absolutely true. I just googled it again. CNN, SBNation, ESPN, ABC, all reported it as established fact. Of course BYU initially supported her. With such an awful allegation, you obviously want to support the alleged victim, until you can complete a thorough investigation at least. It...

    Duke University volleyball player claims she had racial slurs hurled at her during a game against BYU

    Google is your friend. I am not. If you can’t google the coverage of this from two weeks ago, you’re not worth responding to.

    Duke University volleyball player claims she had racial slurs hurled at her during a game against BYU

    The media reported as fact a completely unsupported allegation. They did not qualify it as her allegations. They reported that someone HAD done what she said. If you can’t see the difference, then that’s on you.

    Duke University volleyball player claims she had racial slurs hurled at her during a game against BYU

    False. They didn’t report “Duke Volleyball Player Says She Heard Racial Slurs During Match With BYU”. They reported that racial slurs were yelled at her. They presented her allegations as established fact and criticized BYU for not doing enough about the racial slurs (for which there is no...

    Duke University volleyball player claims she had racial slurs hurled at her during a game against BYU

    I think my issue with this is that Ms. Richardson and her dad and godmother are now all saying that BYU should have reacted more quickly and done more to stop this. From my understanding, as soon as it was reported, BYU posted a police officer in the vicinity of where the slurs allegedly came...

    Duke University volleyball player claims she had racial slurs hurled at her during a game against BYU

    Not sure if the bystander effect would prevent others from recording some person hurling racial slurs at a black female athlete. In today’s “everything is recorded and put on the internet” culture, I find it hard to believe that a bunch of young college students wouldn’t have tried to catch this...

    Duke University volleyball player claims she had racial slurs hurled at her during a game against BYU

    Has anyone seen this story? Is this another hoax? Apparently no one else has stepped forward to corroborate her claims. The police officer they stationed at the student section didn’t hear any slurs (at a time where she says that the slurs were being yelled). Does Duke have a race problem?

    “Blacks only” “Whites only” signs posted on water fountains at Colerain High School

    I saw this story in my news feed all the way out here in California. Thought I would check Yappi to get the inside scoop on the details that the “news” writers invariably leave out, but I didn’t see a thread on the subject. What is the real story on this?

    So basically, a black female SCOTUS member can't be qualified because of her skin color

    I'm perfectly fine with it if President Biden wants to nominate Condoleeze Rice to the Supreme Court. Or Winsome Sears.
