Ohio State QB Cardale Jones weighed in on recent racial issues with policing on Twitter. Some fans took issue with his comments. Cardale took issue with getting told to stick to football, in a Tweet and account now deleted.

Athletes can tweet about what they want. College students should be having vigorous discussion about great societal issues. That’s sort of the point. Delving further into some fool getting owned on Twitter probably obscures the more salient issue. (number has gone up since I checked it this morning)
