Iowa men’s basketball’s twitter account, @IowaHoops, deleted a tweet on Sunday that featured a GIF of comedian Louis C.K.
The comedian has been accused of sexual misconduct by five women, the New York Times reported on Nov. 9. These accusations have included Louis C.K. masturbating in front of women, and asking to pull his penis out, the Times reported after interviewing the victims.
The tweet, posted at 4:15 p.m. on Sunday, was in reference of Iowa forward Tyler Cook’s two blocks in the first six minutes of Sunday’s game. The GIF was a reaction of Louis C.K. with the caption, “Nope!”
The tweet was deleted later in the afternoon, and fans reacted on Twitter before and after it was deleted.
Not a good look, @IowaHoops . Think someone should tell them?

Yeah, maybe not so much with the Louis gifs right now. Please? I can google you some news related to this matter if you’d like.

So the nicest way for me to put this is that this is not the gif you want to use right now.

Might want to say nope to Louis C.K. for awhile

Perhaps stay away from the Louis CK gifs right now

Maybe you shouldn’t use a gif of a sexual predator.
