Conservative radio host Rich Zeoli took exception to the lack of media coverage over the weekend after students at the University of Oregon chanted hostile phrases about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the denomination that founded Brigham Young University, Oregon’s opponent Saturday.
“Where was the coverage of this in the media? I only saw this on Outkick.com,” Rich Zeoli said. “I did not see this make the national news. I mean, can you imagine if you’re standing up there and you say eff another religious group. Eff the Muslims for example. My god. It would be ‘Trump’s America’, ‘white supremacy’. You say eff the Mormons and (the media) is like ‘ahh who cares?'”
Zeoli’s main point of contention was the media coverage surrounding the reported racial slurs shouted by BYU fans at the Duke volleyball team last month. After much media scrutiny, BYU later revealed no evidence was found to corroborate Rachel Richardson, the Duke volleyball player who accused a student of racial harassment, claims.
“It’s got zero media attention. That’s amazing to me, that no one is covering this. ESPN wrote about that whole fugazi BYU volleyball thing, right? ESPN covered that thing extensively. I’m looking on ESPN’s website — and ESPN is so woke now — there’s not a single word about the BYU game. Not one. And there’s video of this. There’s video of an entire section shouting eff the Mormons and not a single coverage of this. Outside of some local or regional coverage in the area and Outkick.com, that’s it. That’s all there is.”
