Michigan State has apologized for pregame video trivia that included a question about Hitler’s home country and an image, saying it was a third-party source.

“MSU will not be using the third-party source going forward and will implement stronger screening and approval procedures for all videoboard content in the future,” the statement read.

The Hitler image was put on the scoreboard Saturday night prior to the start of the Michigan game.

“MSU is aware that inappropriate content by a third-party source was displayed on the videoboard prior to the start of tonight’s football game,” the statement read. “We are deeply sorry for the content that was displayed, as this is not representative of our institutional values.”

Despite the reason, social media questioned using Hitler in any context. Some believed it was a harmless trivia question, while other stated displaying Hitler on the scoreboard was offensive and a fireable offense.

The scoreboard snafu happened on the same day police said a Detroit synagogue president had been found stabbed to death outside her home. Cpl. Dan Donakowski said in a statement from Mayor Mike Duggan identified the victim as Samantha Woll.

Donakowski said Woll was found dead at the scene Saturday morning. The motive isn’t known. He said officers “observed a trail of blood leading officers to the victim’s residence, which is where the crime is believed to have occurred.” The 40-year-old Woll had led the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue since 2022. She was also a former aide to Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin and campaign staffer for Attorney General Dana Nessel. Slotkin and Nessel have both issued statements praising Woll.
