Buckeye Fans Need to Stop Sending Death Threats to UofM Commits

17-year-old Michigan commit Logan Tuley-Thomas and his family have been receiving death threats from Buckeye fans for posting a picture of a burning a letter from Ohio State.
Last season, another Michigan commit, Kyle Kalis also received similar threats from Buckeye fans. This is appalling behavior and needs to stop.
Meanwhile, 247sports's Buckeye affiliate site is not doing anything to discourage the (unlawful) campaign of intimidation against a 17-year-old and his family. In fact, some members are even condoning the threats. Reads one post, "you don't [eff] with Buckeye nation and not expect to be held accountable. Hopefully[,] other [University of Michigan] recruits learn from [Tuley-Tillman's] mistake."
I know not all Buckeye fans are this bad, but to the ones that condone sending death threats to a 17-year-old: what the hell is wrong with you?

This kind of posts need to be nipped in the bud. If a lawsuit does arise from this, the affiliate website and 247sports could be sued.

I cant stand this kind of fan in the fanbase. They should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for what they did.
A true fan would not show this kind of idiotic behavior, and make the whole fan base look bad. So what if a 17 year old KID burned his letter from tOSU! GET OVER IT! As far as im concerned this all just adds more fuel to the fire for The Game!

Can't imagine that in the historic rivalry such as this one, that this is the only incident from either team. Don't get me wrong, I think it's incredibly stupid; however, I'd be a fool to think that both sides haven't done stupid things.

This^, and im sane enough to realize that the exact same thing would've happened if things were completely reversed. There is always a very vocal minority/nutjob representation in every fanbase. +1 blufftonbucknut, well said

Some OSU fans are terrible just like all other fanbases have terrible fans.

I would never condone death threats, but given some of the attacks by our fan base, what did the kid think was gonna happen? He was looking for a reaction... And as Ill a response can be ,he got one.

What's even more sad is that on that thread on Bucknuts every post that I could read seemed to almost approve of the death threats.

A majority of your fanbase condones the death threats.

tOSU fans suck. Problem is that there's so many so it always gets brought up when we do something stupid.
If tOSU is in the news, it gets hits.

This is the really bad thing IMO. It's disgusting that they're allowing that stuff to be said here. Makes 247 look bad.

If you read the thread on Bucknuts, it's like 95% that think it's totally fine to give death threats to a 17 year old.

Maybe if you guys handled yourself in a professional manner you wouldn't be in the news about being idiots so much.

Well, idk what can be done about that. I wish we could shut them all up, but it's impossible with twitter now a days.
The 5% disgraces the entire fan base.

Oh I don't even acknowledge that Board.... If its on there then maybe it is that high. But these are Mods so I figured they were talking Front Row...
