Opinion: Crying Utah State cheerleader meme: Is it respectful?

A basketball sits on the baseline before a first-round college basketball game between Utah State and Missouri in the NCAA Tournament. One of the stories following the Aggies’ loss was the image of a Utah State cheerleader.

I drove into Logan about five hours after Utah State’s first-round loss to Missouri in the NCAA Tournament.

I was picking up my son, who had watched the game at a campus restaurant with other Utah State students. I asked him if students had been talking about the cheerleader who was the focus of the broadcast late in the game.

She appeared to be fighting back tears as the game slipped away from the Aggies.
