Earvin Magic Johnson was a hero at Michigan State, leading the basketball team to a national championship in 1979.
Monday morning, days after the ESPN report was released stating multiple sexual assault crimes covered up at MSU, Johnson tweeted in support of the victims of the Larry Nassar case and wants accountability from MSU.
He posted "As a Spartan, I love MSU and want to work with Coach Izzo, the administration, and the students to be a part of the solution in any way that I can."

The roles of the new President, Board of Trustees, athletic department, faculty, campus police and students will be to work together to create new policies and procedures to ensure this never happens again.

Cookie and I stand in support of the victims and their families as they embark on the road to recovery; and I support the movement to hold everyone involved accountable.

If anyone was aware of the sexual assault happening to women on the MSU campus from the office of the President, Board of Trustees, athletic department, faculty & campus police, and didn’t say or do anything about it, they should be fired.
