I'm pretty sure this proposed legislation was toothless and just done for show, but still, the Ohio politician who thought he was acting on his behalf to protect his beloved OSU is just reinforcing what the rest of the college football world has known over the past decades: The Buckeyes are soft and they throw temper tantrums when they lose.
So this triggered Ohio legislator proposed the O.H.I.O Sportsmanship act, that states that planting a flag on the "O" at the horseshoe stadium is not only legally prohibited by law, but is a 5th degree felony. A few things to notice here...
1. A felony... yes, you read that right... to plant a flag on a football field.
2. Notice that this "crime" does not cover any other football team in the state. Not Toledo, not Akron, not Bowling Green... just OSU.
How soft is this? Like... is this for real? It's freaking hilarious is what it is. While I'm a big Ron DeSantis fan, it's right up there with him stepping in and putting forth some toothless act to go after the NCAA for leaving FSU out of the CFP last year.
But geez, we watched OSU melt down when Michigan planted their flag in retaliation to disrespect is so pathetic. What disrespect? The OSU marching band, in one of their performances a few weeks before "The Big game", depicted a bear taking a dump on the Michigan flag.
Do I have a problem with that? No. Is that disrespect? Yes. Should Michigan go plant their flag on the field after the opposing team's band depicted that? Yes.
It's just so elitist.. so "gated community"... There will be NO flag planting at the sacred O of the horseshoe.. but everyone else? Go F yourself.
THE... Ohio State University just reinforced how soft it is.
