ESPN ^

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan State issued an apology Saturday night after an image of Adolf Hitler was displayed on the videoboard before the Spartans' home game against Michigan.

The image appeared as part of a trivia question about Hitler's place of birth.

(snip)

"MSU will not be using the third-party source going forward and will implement stronger screening and approval procedures for all videoboard content in the future."

They’re not necessarily unrelated. By flooding the zone with topics 4000 miles away, it avouds the uncomfortable discussion of what is happening in our own country.

“We have always been at war with Eastasia.”

“All most college kiddies know about Hitler is that they think he was a MAGA Republican.”

LOLOL...good one. And dead-on.

A “mistake”…yeah sure. Hitler images always mistakenly pop up at sporting events on the Jumbotron.

never mind the team....

BTW- this looks like it took place an hour and a half before kick off. There’s no score, there’s almost no one in the stands and the clock reads 81 minutes

I suspect it’s like those trivia things that come up at the movie theater before the Coming Attractions. They want to put something interesting on the Jumbotron.

It’s basically a “screen saver” for the Jumbotron.

Check out some of the comments!!!

I would have been more outraged, had they put Whitmer’s picture up there, but that’s just me.

"We are deeply sorry for the content that was displayed, as this is not representative of our institutional values," Michigan State associate athletic director Matt Larson said in a statement

You know the Brown Scare is peaking when you see foolishness like this.

Merely an image of Magic Mustache Man (unrelated to any political content) is enough to agitate the masses.

We don’t even talk about the Constitution here on FR anymore

That's because most people (whether or not they are conscious of it) understand that the Constitution is deader that a doornail.

All three branches of the State as imagined by the Founders are failing at the same time, and the system is incapable of righting itself.

Pretty soon, the People are going to have to do some serious altering and abolishing, as in, "it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Are the People safe? Are the people happy?

The question answers itself.

They did nothing wrong, and shouldn’t have to apologize. IMO it’s a little bit of an odd one, but they shouldn’t have to apologize because an emotionally unstable, stupid minority might get offended.
