Michigan State Is ‘Deeply Sorry’ After Displaying Picture Of Adolf Hitler In Scoreboard At Stadium
QANN ^ | 10/23 | Abril Elfi

Michigan State University (MSU) has issued an apology after an image of Adolf Hitler was displayed on the scoreboard at their football stadium.

The University said that they are “deeply sorry” after a picture of Nazi Hitler was displayed during a pregame quiz at Spartan Stadium on Saturday.

According to the university, the picture, which appeared following a question about Hitler’s birthplace, was part of a routine pregame trivia segment run by a third-party contractor.

MSU Associate Athletic Director Matt Larson said in a written statement that the University has cut ties with the third-party sources and “will implement stronger screening and approval procedures for all video board content in the future.”

How can you have a 2 Minute Hate if you can't show the guy's picture?

This sounds ridiculous.

It doesn’t sound like they were pro-Hitler or pro-Nazi. It sounds like it was just a clue in a game. I don’t see why that should be offensive.

... unless I am missing something.

Are we not allowed to see/show pictures of criminals and villains?

They didn’t do anything wrong, and should not have felt the need to issue any apology.

Nah we humans love our criminals and villains. I guess context had something to do with it.

I wasn’t at the game. But here’s the picture in question. I find it to be odd, but not particularly offensive.

j/k

This is the You Tube video.

The Hitler question comes at around the 10:35 mark.

I think it’s important to talk about Adolf Hitler otherwise we will have a repeat of antisemitism. Guess what? History is repeating itself. Ask AOC why is she antisemitic.

Stealing one of the YouTube comments: MSU has more Hitlers on the scoreboard than points.

The point of the question, is that most people would answer “Germany”, and not “Austria”.

With leftists now chanting “from the river to the sea” and “gas the Jews,” one would think that they now consider Hitler to be a good guy.

Michigan has a huge number of modern day Nazi equivalents in their vast Muslim community, a certain Congress member being a prime example.

And they’re worried about trivia quizzes.

Austria’s greatest achievements are convincing the world that Beethoven was Austrian and Hitler was German.

Or in the Governor's office.
