Wisconsin Fans' "Donald Trump Hanging Barack Obama In A Noose" Costume Was A Smash Hit At The Nebraska Game

ThinkProgress – Two fans at Saturday night’s University of Wisconsin football game wore a costume featuring President Obama in a noose, with Donald Trump holding the rope.

One of the pair sported an Obama mask and had a noose around their neck. They also had a Hillary Clinton mask. The other person wore a Trump mask and held the noose to give the appearance Trump was hanging either Obama or Clinton.

University officials became aware of the costume and asked the pair to remove the offensive parts of it.

But the two weren’t kicked out of the game. As university officials repeatedly explained on Twitter, they were allowed to stay because officials viewed the costume as “free speech.”

Hey it’s Halloween, super fun holiday, and we’ve got these great tickets to an awesome football game, Wisconsin and Nebraska, should be an awesome time. What do you wanna be?!

How about I put an Obama mask on and you hang me in a noose?

Perfect. Sounds fun!

Such losers. Everybody freaking out they were allowed to stay though, I do totally agree with the Wisconsin response. Same thing I’ve always said, you can stay or say whatever you want because that’s the beauty of free speech. We just need to sneak that amendment in there that gives you full leniency and amnesty for sneaking up on them and punching them in the face.

Should go both ways.
