While Nebraska and Wisconsin were engaged in a fun football game Saturday night, a pair of fans at Camp Randall Stadium showed up in costumes that appeared to depict Donald Trump lynching President Barack Obama and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
A different fan at the game captured an image of the costumes and posted it on Twitter:
At the @UWBadgers game and there is a man with a mask of President Obama and a noose. This is racism, why was this allowed into the stadium? pic.twitter.com/zKEqhdDYny

The University of Wisconsin issued a statement about the situation, per Alysha Tsuji of USA Today:
During the first half of this evening’s Wisconsin football game against Nebraska, UW officials were made aware that an individual in the seating bowl had donned a highly insensitive and offensive costume.
