KU suspends cheerleader, investigating Snapchat photo that mentions KKK, Trump

Source: Kansas City Star

Kansas Athletics suspended a cheerleader Monday following the discovery of a Snapchat photo that mentioned the KKK.

Associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said KU officials were made aware of Lili Gagins social media posting during the mens basketball teams 83-63 victory over UAB.

The photo depicted three men in sweaters, each with a K representing Kansas on their chests. White letters across the photo read Kkk go trump.

Marchiony confirmed the three men in the photo also were members of the cheer squad. He said they had not been suspended, and their potential involvement was still being investigated.

The men are making the ASL "k" with their fingers. So... yeah. They're complicit.

My point is that the cheerleaders (all involved) were giving Trump a thumb in the eye.
