Justin Southwell shares thoughts on OSU incorporating sponsorship patches for this upcoming school year.
Great piece and I agree. Something about selling our soul, which a jersey might not equate but might be a reasonable facsimile.
I think it’s in immensely bad taste to have a patched tie-in with Osage Nations, of which a large part is casinos and gambling. And that’s not even considering the poor timing of announcing this in the wake of Sorsby-gate. The one thing I kept thinking through all that hullabaloo was “I’m so thankful this doesn’t have anything to do with OSU”.
I should have known better than to think there would be no way we’d screw ourselves in some related way.
