DIII Players Booted for ‘Harlem Shake’?

6 Comments

The “Harlem Shake” has become 2013′s version of “Gangnam Style”, with college sports teams everywhere taking part in the fun.

That is, aside from 11 football players at DIII Susquehanna University (PA) who were allegedly kicked off the team after partaking in a “Harlem Shake” video gone wrong.

As you can see from the video below, it doesn’t appear to be offensive except for some sexually suggestive poses by the football players. There could be some extenuating circumstances, such as the players sneaking into the locker room to film this, but this has to be the most bizarre reason we’ve ever heard of college football players getting kicked off a team.

As former Susquehanna tight end Logan Skillman put in on Twitter:

Hopefully the school’s athletic director will back down from this apparent draconian punishment so that the lives of 11 college kids aren’t altered forever over a silly music video.

    Colleges are full of politically correct liberals. The worst of the worse!

      Except for the fact that this is a conservative school that did not get the joke, your statement is 100% accurate.

    That was awesome! The AD shouldn’t have kicked anyone off the team for this.

    It is obvious that they know what being a part of a team is based on the video and coordinating it to put it together. Come on Coach have a heart. Let these guys play!!!

    This is my school, and I know a few of these guys. They did this one afternoon (couple guys even left class early to do this) in the gym’s basement. They weren’t sneaky about it at all as they didn’t have to be. The biggest thing that got them kicked off, which is an over reaction, is that the dances/positions were vulgar and sexual.
