Rivalries like the one between Ohio State and the University of Michigan can bring out great passion . . . and insensitivity.
A photo on Twitter shows fans in Ohio State University garb with the comment "Truth" by a news and marketing site called Barstool Sports. As you can see, it shows a banner that says "Michigan Girls: More Diseased Than Flint Water."
Amid more than 900 likes and over 400 retweets, some condemn the Buckeye attempt at humor.
"Delete your account," sggests Dr. David H. Gorski, a cancer surgeon at Wayne State University School of Medicine.
Kenya Bell says the image is "classless and shows no empathy." Another critic calls it "disgusting."
In a Detroit Metro Times blog post Sunday, Jack Roskopp writes: "This tweet needs to be taken down.."
Ohio State ended up beating Michigan in Columbus on Saturday after two overtimes, 30-27.
