I don't understand what is supposed to be the offense here. It was a trivia question about world history. In the context it was clearly not an endorsement.

I don't know, considering Nazis are becoming a problem again, it's a bad look.
They've been a consistent problem since the 1930s
Yes, ignoring and not acknowledging and teaching history is a good way to not repeat it.
Why was Hitler's birthplace considered a fun trivia question suitable for a large event? That's the real question I have here.
Because it's an easy one to get wrong?
Most likely scenario is they were just broadcasting some generic trivia that had no forethought about the context of current events or being broadcast in a stadium. I could easily see it as a question for weekly trivia night.
Basically, the outcome of being lazy about content for a mass gathering.
lol, it's kind of fun to think of 'offensive' trivia
In what year did the Confederate States of America secede from the USA?
The the Soviet Union was the union of how many socialist republics?
Which two African nations remained de jure independent during "the scramble for Africa?"
They never got Ethiopia.
Thank you, History of the World I guess!
Ethiopia and Eswatini?
what timing....
That sign below..
I'm guessing the Duckett Brothers would be less than thrilled about this.
The real reason MSU is deeply sorry, right there.
Only one ball🎶
Poor old Goebbels.
The fact that the sign right under reads "We never drop the ball" and this is coming form the game against Michigan where they lost 49-0 really brings it all together lol
They did nazi that coming.
I know reich?
I feel like the world would be a better place if people decided to wait and see if things seem like a good idea for two days in a row instead of just doing it.
We can't show a picture of Hitler? I guess he must be Muhammad, then.
