You will be shocked to know about the recent appalling act where a Michigan fan fabricated a fake threat to herself. Yes, you read that right. This girl pretended to be harassed via DM by a burner account, which, as it turns out, was her own! It’s hard to imagine sinking lower than this in the name of rivalry.

Thanks to another vigilant account, Lincoln Clay, the deception was exposed. A screenshot of the alleged harassment was posted by the Michigan fan, and oops! The “Edit Profile” button on the burner account gave away the truth. It’s an excellent lesson in learning that honesty will always come to light, even on social media.

Reactions from the gallery

When news of the deception broke, the fans couldn’t help but express their disappointment.

Comments ranged from calling it “unserious” and “weird” to being glad they never took sports so seriously.

Michigan’s fan base also received some collateral damage, but they were quick to clarify that not everyone should be painted with the same brush.

Another user expressed their shock and disappointment at such an embarrassing act.

Lying about threats for attention and sympathy is a low blow. Let’s be real here; Michigan already got back in the rivalry. Their fans didn’t need this sympathy stunt. Moreover, it only tarnishes the spirit of the game and shows a lack of respect for the competition.

Nevertheless, college football rivalries are meant to be intense and exciting. But let’s remember that they are just games. We should celebrate the spirit of competition without resorting to deceit or disrespect. Whether you bleed scarlet and gray or hail from Michigan, remember that true fans support their team with passion and honor.
