Ohio State Fans Kick Off Football Season With Horrible Shirt Mocking Penn State Victims

Ohio State Fans Kick Off Football Season With Horrible Shirt Mocking Penn State Victims
Jessica Coen
Listen: I'm an unbiased reporter and alumnus of an unrelated school, and I've talked plenty of trash about both Michigan and Ohio State for no real reason other than that's just what you do. I can't intellectually defend any of it; it's just silly and a long-standing but ultimately meaningless tradition. Point is, I get it. I get that Ann Arbor is a whore and friends don't let friends live in Ohio. I get football humor and I take part in football humor. We hurl these insults at one another because it's college and it's all stupid fun and benign nonsense.
Except for when it's not, like now, with this very special Ohio State garment (found on Facebook but ultimately of unknown provenance). This fine t-shirt features the usual rivalry jibberish — par for the course — but with an exciting twist: It's at the expense of victims of the young men who were assaulted by Jerry Sandusky. Because they haven't had a hard enough time as is? You can almost hear the bro who made this crap (and is selling it, and I'm sure some awful twits are actually buying it) defend its existence: But, dude, this year both the Wolverines AND the Nittany Lions suck! Two birds, one super-classy stone. Child rape is a hoot.
I think we can assume this fine piece of apparel is not official Ohio State gear, and to be fair, Ohio State fans are not the only ones guilty of producing such crap; LSU's got a similar t-shirt too. (HILLBILLIES STICK TOGETHER - Ed) Which is great, really. By putting your cruelty and ignorance on such obvious display, emblazoned across your chest, it helps the rest of the world to quickly discern that you are a person who is to be avoided at all costs. So thanks, I guess, for saving folks some time

buckeyes stoop to a new low...as usual
