Ohio State draws criticism for message of 'silence' tweet
A message of "silence" shared on Ohio State football's Twitter account Wednesday is drawing criticism on social media and from national advocates for victims of sexual abuse and relationship violence.
The football team's account shared a graphic ahead of its top 10 match-up at No. 9 Penn State this Saturday featuring the word silence along with a message that said "silence the white noise." An athletic department spokesman said the message is the same that the team shared two years ago when they visited State College for another big game. The "white noise" is a reference to Penn State's plans to host a "white out" where all fans wear white.
