CHAMPAIGN — Michigan State played without eight suspended players Saturday against Illinois at Memorial Stadium. Suspended why? For beating the hell out of a couple of Michigan players last weekend in the tunnel of the Big House in Ann Arbor after the Spartans were blown out by the Wolverines. Legal action is pending.

The sports world remains outraged.

My question: Why is anyone even surprised?

Hating the “other” is the American way in 2022. Opposition is expressed in vitriol and violence.
