Newsweek took a dive into the curious question, and here's how it went.
Just Duke. Not Duke basketball, not Duke of Windsor, or even the Duke of Earl. The list was astounding, and not even just recent. Some of the stories go back several years, including astory in 2008 written by Devin Gordon, a 1998 Duke graduate, who defended his school's honor back then."The chief reason that Duke, and Duke fans, are so despised is the perception that we are too arrogant about our winning ways. And you're right. We are.
"Why do people hate Duke so much? Ask them—hear them out, listen to all their silly reasons about race and privilege and spoiled kids blah blah blah—and then when they're done, point to the scoreboard. That's why they hate us," Gordon said this week. "Thank you very much, for reminding me of the reason why I left Duke. People like you cannot and will not ever understand my situation," Brand said."I'm sure Daddy worked very hard to send your rich self to college. While real people struggle. I would also like to extend an invitation for you not to waste your or my time ever again. Never being considered a part of your posh group of yuppies really hurts me to the heart.
