No, that's what BYU claimed.

The athlete, and her teammates, and her coaches, said that the fan was making racist comments the entire game.

NPR merely reported BYU's findings. Apparently it's not politically correct to call out Mormons on their homophobia or racism, so the Duke team's experience was left out of the NPR coverage.

NPR does not credulously report on such matters. Duke's claims were thoroughly covered in the original NPR story. So obviously NPR does report on racist behavior at BYU, when it appears to be true.

Have Duke's claims been put into a report anywhere? It sounds like you accept claims of racism over a report based on actual evidence and dozens of interviews. Even when that report is widely reported in media that has egg on its face for having jumped the gun.

Can you point to Duke's evidence, or share what more could be shown by BYU/NPR/NBC to change your mind?
