An anti-Semitic message was projected onto TIAA Bank Field’s exterior following the Georgia-Florida game on Saturday, and it was in reference to comments made recently by Ye, formerly Kanye West.
The message was not made by the stadium or its staff.
Ye, in recent days, has lost business partnerships and parted ways with a creative agency and saw a documentary scrapped. Ye was recently restricted from posting on Twitter and Instagram over antisemitic posts that the social networks said violated their policies.
Horrible to see that someone projected an anti-Semitic message on to TIAA Bank Field at the end of the sold-out Georgia-Florida game. A relative sent this to me. It’s in reference to comments Ye (formerly Kanye West) made recently.

According to the Associated Press, Ye suggested slavery was a choice and called the COVID-19 vaccine the “mark of the beast.” Earlier this month, Ye was criticized for wearing a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt to the showing of his latest collection at Paris Fashion Week.
