Ohio State Is Getting Ripped For 'Embarrassing' Graduation Speaker
06/05/2024 01:21
Ohio State University held its spring commencement at Ohio Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Christopher Pan, an entrepreneur and inspirational speaker, gave the commencement address at Ohio Stadium.
It sounds like most people were not fans of it.
"Happy to lend a hand here. This was an embarrassment and a huge disservice to 12k graduates and their loved ones. Have to be better," Ohio State graduate Ben Koo wrote, sharing some messages from social media.
Some in attendance added:
"Why have the commencement speaker at The Ohio State University @OhioState use his speech to promote bitcoin?" one fan wrote.
"The students appeared to boo when he said bitcoin is a misunderstood asset," one fan added.
"At the Ohio State commencement and the keynote speaker is selling us on Bitcoin -- and the graduating students booed lmao," another fan wrote.
.@OhioState has a commencement speaker advertising bitcoin WHAT THE HELL

@OhioStatePres@OhioState maybe do a better job vetting your commencement speakers. Today was a travesty. These kids who worked so hard fighting a pandemic to get to graduation had to sit through a worthless unmotivating speech. You can do better.

Tragedy struck Ohio State's commencement on Sunday, too, as one person died after a fall from the top of Ohio Stadium.
Our thoughts are with the victim's friends and family members.
