I think this goes quite a bit further than a simple “oops.” Prior to the Saturday night football game between Michigan and Michigan State, the usual displays of advertisements and team videos were playing on the stadium’s huge video screens. But those displays were briefly interrupted by something that I doubt anyone expected to see. An image of Adolph Hitler flashed on the screen. It disappeared pretty quickly, but not before people noticed. The display was completely out of context unless people were paying close attention and no explanation was offered at the time. However, the team has now suspended the unnamed person responsible for operating the equipment pending an investigation. The university’s athletic director also offered a heartfelt apology. (AP)
Michigan State athletic director Alan Haller said he has suspended an employee involved in allowing Adolf Hitler’s image to be shown on videoboards before playing No. 2 Michigan.
The employee, who was not named, will be paid pending an investigation that will help to determine potential action in the future. Haller said no one in the department viewed the entire video, exposing a failure in its process.
