Hours after this selfie was posted to her Instagram account, Louisville cheerleader Dani Cogswell was found dead in her apartment on Louisville’s campus. The cause of her death is unknown and is currently under investigation. No foul play is suspected, however.

Using the #RIPDani hashtag, normal, soulful internet people took to Twitter to express their condolences for Cogswell’s passing.

The other group features people like this:

@AlexRahrah98 has since deleted her account, but unfortunately, not before she pissed off a lot of people.

Rivalries are fun. It’s the crazies that make them occasionally un-fun. If you put common, human decency aside in the name of your sports allegiances, you’re one of those crazies, and, frankly, you need help.
