Column: Don’t let ‘sports-hate’ lead to a prison sentence
Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports Last week, a man named Daniel Rippy pleaded guilty to threatening to injure and even kill Ohio State students, athletes, and former head football coach Urban Meyer during the 2018 Ohio State and Michigan football game; which the Buckeyes won 62-39. His multiple threats were made on Facebook and directed at various official OSU accounts.
According to the AP, the Livermore, Cali. resident wrote in one comment, “I’m seriously going to hurt the students and all of the players from the football team.”
An indictment unsealed last September stated that Rippy threatened “to injure or kill specific players, their family members and the head coach.”
