Politician Mistakes Washington’s Gonzaga for ‘Migrant Invasion’
There are few things more exciting in sports than March Madness. Whether you follow along with the college basketball season or not, once March hits, everything becomes a bracket and everyone is glued to their tv's for major upsets and insane buzzer beaters.
One thing that has no business getting involved with such a fun event? Politics.
This morning, a politician in Michigan has somehow found a way to work politics into the 'greatest show on earth' that is March Madness. Irresponsible and overly assumptive photos and statements posted on social media have the Gonzaga men's basketball team in the middle of an online conversation that most couldn't have expected...
Here's a look at the tweet that went up from Michigan State Representative Matt Maddock from this morning:
What on earth is going on!?
This isn't the first story line with charged political undertones going on during March Madness. On the women's side, just days ago, the University of Utah women's team who was playing in Spokane, had accommodations changed due to alleged racial hate crimes.
Since posting the original accusation--he has only replied to some folks calling them "commies". Yikes.
