Yesterday, Ohio State football parents staged a rally at the Horseshoe to continue the protest of the Big Ten’s decision to postpone the fall football season. This time though, instead of just parents, Buckeye fans — that looked to number a couple of hundred — showed up to offer support.
Many of the parents took turns speaking, fans held signs, and the group railed against the Big Ten in a peaceful way. It was another push against conference commissioner Kevin Warren and university presidents’ seemingly premature and non-transparent decision to shelve football while other colleges, high schools, and even youth push forward.
Afterward, Twitter was ablaze with reactions from those in Buckeye Nation and we’ve grabbed some of the best reactions for your perusing pleasure.
There’s a reason why our players fight so hard, it’s in their genes! @fpaos_board #sogratefultobeapartofthisfamily #Fight https://t.co/kgUevSBFnG

Ms. Linda, thank you so much for coming over and praying with us before the event started. You telling me that you haven’t missed a Buckeye game in 53 years touched me. Also, the fact that you came over to pray over me is another example of why this world needs football. 🙏🏾 https://t.co/9fkejxtHw5
