Ohio State Tweets Tone-Deaf ‘Silence’ Message Before Penn State Game

Ohio State Tweets Tone-Deaf ‘Silence’ Message Before Penn State Game

Ohio State wants more silence.

The unbeaten Buckeyes visit Penn State in Week 5 with an opportunity to notch another big win for their playoff résumé and take the early upper hand in the Big Ten East race. Their last trip to State College was a bad one; Penn State's 24-21 win was ultimately the deciding factor in the divisional race, one that Ohio State lost and, therefore, was denied a spot in the College Football Playoff. 

Saturday's game — like that 2016 game — is Penn State's annual Whiteout game in which more than 100,000 Nittany Lions' fans will don white attire and make Beaver Stadium one of the loudest venues in the country this season. Ohio State's goal is to silence the noise — or the "white noise."

That's fair. Every opposing team seeks to silence the home crowd. All good so far.

But on Wednesday, Ohio State football's Twitter account tweeted about that silence. And when you're Ohio State, promoting silence isn't a good thing.

Ohio State, a university whose reaction to repeated violence by an employee was silence, is using "Silence" as their rallying cry this weekend. Silence didn't work so well for Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes last time.

At best, the tweet is remarkably tone deaf. At worst, it's potentially a horrifying trigger for those impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault.
