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.'Antisemitism must be denounced,' Haller said in a statement Sunday Night. 'The image displayed prior to Saturday night's game is not representative of who we are and the culture we embody. Nevertheless, we must own our failures and accept responsibility.
Michigan State streamed The Quiz Channel, which had 40 questions in its latest video, including asking where was Hitler born with his image before showing Austria as the answer. The previous question asked, 'In Star Trek, what color was Spock's blood?' before green was shown as the answer.'I am deeply sorry for the image displayed at Spartan Stadium, which made many of our community feel alienated and unsafe,' interim university President Teresa Woodruff said Sunday.
