‘No Class’: Iowa Fans Blasted For Booing Penn State Injuries
No. 4 Penn State football’s 23-20 loss to No. 3 Iowa Saturday afternoon was chock-full of great punts, gritty defensive plays, and classic Big Ten football. Sadly, it was also marked by a gross lack of sportsmanship.
All afternoon long, boos rained down from Kinnick Stadium’s stands whenever a Nittany Lion wound up needing some medical attention after a play. By the third quarter, the jeers starting getting pretty ridiculous.
Naturally, Penn State fans took to Twitter to let the Hawkeyes know how they really feel.
Iowa fans boo everything, huh? Fucking dumbasses?

Trash fans.

That crowd has been booing every single time a PSU player goes down.

Classy.
Reminds me of one grown man would heckle me when I was pitching softball. No place for it when there’s an injured player. I’ve been hearing a lot of boos and I just don’t get it

I have never heard an entire crowd boo at any team with an injury.

Until Iowa played Penn State today & every Penn State player that gets injured & gets up from an injury gets booed.
I mean it’s Iowa so I’m not surprised but like…
After the game, head coach James Franklin addressed Iowa fans’ booing, too.
