Dear Editor: I moved to Wisconsin 11 years ago to work and raise my family. Having grown up in Iowa and having gone to school at the University of Iowa, I have been a lifelong Hawkeye fan, and I have an appreciation of the deep Big Ten rivalry between the UW and University of Iowa.
In Iowa there have been many stories and hard feelings historically about how the Iowa football team and sports fans have been treated when visiting the UW. We can tell you stories of the snowballs thrown at players, chants, etc.
….I know that the UW has had challenges for years controlling inappropriate chants during games from students. The behavior I experienced, however, was over the top and will only serve to harm respect from people visiting Wisconsin to support their teams in the future.
