Eric Reid And Michael Divinity Keep Going Back And Forth On Twitter About The Locker Room

All Hail King Michael

Bravo Mike. Reid's original gripe was about all that money spent on the locker room instead of players being paid (which is an NCAA issue, not LSU one). I guess Reid realized he lost the argument on that point, so now he changes gears to scholarships :rollseyes:

Mike's a smart guy

I almost didn’t click to read this because I thought it would be the usual social media back and forth you see. But glad I did because Divinty has it together. Good publicity for Mike divinity right here.

I think Divinity just went up quite a few spots in my favorite Tigers list.

MD is killing it

He forgot about taxes! Aside from that, dude sounds like a smart cat. Makes some great points. You can’t tell another man what to do with his hard-earned money!

Please Baby Jesus let LSU give Micheal Divinity #18!!!!

Eric Reid donations to LSU : $0.00

I would like to express my love to Michael Divinity!!

Been saying all offseason that Divinity should get #18.

Eric Reid has really turned into an a-hole.

Eric Reid, a great player...but he's been standing with Colin Kap for all the wrong reasons. I'd love to debate him over taking a knee for police profiling and excessive force issues. I mean let's talk about Mike Brown attempting to take the office gun from him while seat belted in his Police SUV and ended up getting shot.... Hands up dont' shoot was a freakin like by someone in the African American community. Mr. Ried, why don't you use your money to educate people what not to do after being caught breaking the law....and the proudly stand during the anthem... Until then, you are just helping the fatherless in the black continue to be racially profiled because they act like the profile...Let's have a real conversation about these issues...and talk about behavior and attitude

Divinity is rhetorically kicking the shite out of Reid

Reid is sliding down my list of fond memory tigers. Why is he fricking with LSU on this? He seems intelligent but chooses really dumb points to fight over.

After looking through Reid's twitter, dude is so mad at the world. He's chapped he got a random piss test. Bro, you signed up for this.

In many respects, spending on football (either directly or through TAF donations) is a circuitous form of funding the school, and is a far more enjoyable form of taxation. Frankly, if you enacted a real tax to net the same amount of money that athletic revenue provides, you'd have a lot more sour grapes. That said, state funding of higher education typically has a pretty high return on investment, and the folks arguing for more finding for the education side have a point as well. I don't personally have an issue with Eric Reid voicing his opinion, just like I don't have an issue with folks vehemently disagreeing. As long as folks are respectful of what is a genuine, heartfelt concern expressed in good faith, it's worth having the dialogue. Let's have good facilities, and let's better fund our higher education. This doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. And props to the former tigers who out their money where their mouth is.

I cant believe Eric is doing everything in his power to alienate himself from the University that he Bled Purple and Gold for just a few short years ago. Now I get what his argument is but why go there and the point he is making but he looks like a jealous petty fool. Should have stayed off social media and just focused on being a better football player. He would have been a yearly face at the Pro Bowl if he had now fans and players alike wont vote for a pussy like that cause they cant stand to be around him.

Eric is just a sad person. So talented and benefited from the process of LSU and the NFL. But so much hate in him!

Eric need to just cut bait with this one and save a little face while he can. I think he made a knee jerk statement based on ideology without thinking it through and now his pride is trying to keep him in the debate. One that people are able to take him to task on fairly easily. Bad deal for him.
