"According to an arrest warrant, Watkins assaulted the victim, who was not named, by "forcefully grabbing her face, pulling her by her arms, and pushing her."
"The arrest warrant went on to say Watkins also picked up and carried the victim against her will, grabbed her head, and forced her to walk down the hall "thus controlling her movement while preventing her from leaving."

If memory serves, didn't South Carolina coach Dawn Staley cancel a game with BYU in Provo to prevent her charges from being exposed to "possible" racial slurs?
Why, yes she did! From Wiki:
" In 2022, following an alleged racist incident by a Brigham Young University fan against a member of the Duke women's volleyball team, Staley canceled the team's matchups against BYU in the 202223 and 202324 seasons.[25] Despite an investigation that did not find evidence to corroborate the claim, Staley declined to reinstate the series.[26]"
