Subject: Geniuses at Penn Author: Bella [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:11:49 03/22/26 Sun In reply to: Go Green 's message, "Some press picked it up" on 08:35:41 03/22/26 Sun This will blow over soon enough, but I hope the genius Penn student who started the chant finds out that his (I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume it was a "he") initiative to vent his frustration over losing a basketball game was tweeted out by Yahoo Sports to 1.9 million views. That's 1.9 million people who just got the message Penn students are a--holes. This Penn genius has caused a small and brief -- but real -- public relations problem for Penn and Penn alumni. An Ivy League student should be smart enough to realize that a lot of people don't like Ivy Leaguers. A guy who transferred into the Ivy League once liked to talk about it, but now realizes that there is political advantage to attacking these institutions and especially their faculty and alumni. Penn geniuses. We Ivy sports fans like it when our alma mater makes the NCAA tournament because, for once, we have a national audience. It's a shame when the national audience takes away a negative impression. Penn fans, you would be wise to learn the appropriate lesson here.

I always associated this kind of thing with high schools, where immaturity is no more welcome, but unfortunately more common. Maybe this person was channeling his high school self. Let's hope he's at least smart enough not to claim it as a badge of honor. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
