Thursday Poll: A supermajority of Hucks Nation says nothing should be done to the 5 Whitworth soccer players who appeared in "blackface" in a Facebook photo, for a skit mimicking The Jackson 5. The 5 have been suspended for one soccer game. 98 of 260 respondents (37.69%) said the controversy is "no big deal." Another 72 of 260 respondents (27.69%) said the five women shouldn't be punished because they've "learned their lesson." Also, 36 (13.85%) supported the one-game suspension; 23 (8.85%) want to see a multi-game suspension; 15 (5.77%) support a school suspension; 9 (3.46%) checked "other"; 6 (2.31%) supported expulsion from school; and 1 (0.38%) was undecided.
