It's time to support this man and former tiger in what he chooses to do as a professional fooball player. I fully support Eric Reid no matter what he does (as long as it is legal) as a tiger fan, as an American and as an African American. I expect all of you to growup and do the same thing.

For those calling him a thug, he has no criminal record. He was the valedictorian at Dutchtown High School and scored very high on the wonderlic like kaepernick. He's a great person on and off the field. He used to live next to our house in college in lake beau pre. One time, Eric saw us having trouble moving our furniture in and helped us move everything. Means a lot that he would stop everything he was doing to help total strangers. One of the nicest people I've ever met.

Show a little respect for an all time great former tiger instead of getting your little panties twisted because he won't stand for a musically adapted British drinking song. Most of you don't know what it's like to be black, so maybe take a step back and try to empathize with Eric instead of verbally berating him. How do you think recruits will see this? You think they want to attend a school with fans that hate the all time greats? I don't think so.
