Michigan fans are not taking the Jim Harbaugh suspension well

Fans of the Michigan football team have not taken the news of Jim Harbaugh being suspended for gameday for the last three games very well. In fact, it’s been quite embarrassing how immature some of the more public figures within their fanbase have responded. Playing the victim like a toddler who got their favorite toy taken away after using it as a weapon has been shameful.

It looks as if Harbaugh has been sent to the corner of the room for a short timeout while the adults talk about what they should do and an entire fanbase threw themselves on the floor in front of everyone and started throwing a temper tantrum.

Take for instance Dave Portnoy, the President of Bar Stool Sports. The foul-mouthed independent sports media member who is known for his pizza reviews is an unapologetic supporter of all things maize and blue. He is one of the most dramatic tantrum throwers at the moment.

Much like Portnoy, James Yonder is spitting venom as well. Yoder is the founder of Chat Sports and runs a very popular Michigan YouTube channel. Yoder’s anger is directed more towards Big Ten Commissioner Tony Pettiti believing that the timing of the suspension handed down by the Big Ten was that of a man who lacks courage.

The Victors Nation Podcast believes that Petitti’s suspension will only galvanize the team and the entire fanbase even more.

If Michigan fans are having this difficult of a time with an additional three-game suspension, imagine what they will be like if the NCAA comes down on the program even harder, taking away wins and conference championships, while possibly even giving them future postseason bans and scholarship restrictions.

Social media is going to be a wild place as this scandal continues to play out over the coming months. Stay tuned.
