LeBron vs. Stephen A…. Duke vs. White Lotus… It seems like everyone wants OPP today.

Duke University is extremely frustrated by the team producing the hit television series The White Lotus, which aired on HBO. And considering the context behind everything, it’s completely understandable.

It was dropped March 16thThe fifth episode of “The White Lotus” features a character from the show named Timothy Ratliff, played by Jason Isaac, carrying a gun on his head and on the verge of suicide. And in the process he wore a T-shirt with the huge letters spelled “Duke” on the front.

The image of the show is planned to be used when Blue Devils haters use the photos as memes to provoke Duke, especially when they are in the social media college basketball community. The boys and women teams punched tickets for Sweet 16 in the insanity of March. (Related: “This Man is in His Emotions”: Stephen A.

“Not only does White Lotus use the brand without permission, but in our view it uses it with a nasty image, not reflecting our values ​​or who we are, it simply goes too far.” Official Statement.

“Suicide is the second cause of death on university campuses. Images from the show are widely shared across social media, which is why we use our brand to promote mental health awareness and remind us that support is available.

While Duke appreciates artistic expression and creative storytelling, the characters that stand out from Duke’s federal trademark apparel create confusion and falsely suggest non-existent support or affiliation. ”

If Duke lost early in the tournament (and for the brutal Duke’s loss afterwards), the White Lotus congratulated us. pic.twitter.com/pisyiiozyl
