Sister Jean’s snub sparks criticism of Loyola men’s basketball players

College basketball Fans aren’t too happy with Loyola Chicago men’s basketball after players were seen booing team chaplain Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt following a dominant win over Eastern Michigan.

Ramblers remained unbeaten with a 76-54 win over the Eagles at home, but fans were left displeased on social media after a viral video showed several players walking past beloved sister Gina as they left the field.

Sister Jean, who turned 105 on August 21, sat in a wheelchair right in front of the tunnel with her fist raised. But as some on social media pointed out, the players left him “hanging”.

“How can you leave Sister Jean hanging like this?!?” Barstool personality Dan Katz, known as “The Big Cat,” said in a post about X.

“There is 1 rule of college basketball to follow: You NEVER ignore Sister Jean,” another wrote online.

“I know she probably didn’t care but this hurts my feelings,” another post said.

Sister Jean began her career at Loyola Chicago in 1991 as an academic counselor, but she is best known for her role as team chaplain, which she began just a few years later in 1994. Since then, she has become more than just a household name. In Chicago, but for all college basketball fans out there.
