Luke Tierney was a Chicago player who previously played for Hunter. He is greatly disliked in the quizbowl community and has been ostracized for his far-right political opinions, for wearing a Rhodesia t-shirt to a tournament,[1] and for disparaging behavior towards female teammates,[2] among other things; he is greatly disliked outside the quizbowl community as well. He is the son of journalist and climate change denier John Tierney.[3]
