Sooners’ WR Jaz Reynolds Suspended Due to Remarks Posted on Twitter Regarding Texas College Shooting
After a shooting at University of Texas at Austin, one football player decided to take the matter into his own hands and post a remark on Twitter regarding the incident. However, he now probably regrets making the remarks that he did due to his newly found suspension.
The Oklahoma Sooners have indefinitely suspended wide receiver Jaz Reynolds, a sophomore at the college, who has not even got to play with the Sooners this year.
Tuesday, a gunman entered into the Texas college’s library where he opened fire and then went on to kill himself. In light of those events, Reynolds logged into his Twitter account and posted the following, according to USA Today and other media sources:
“Hey everyone in Austin, tx…….kill yourself #evillaugh”
Then went on to make another Twitter post a few moments later saying:
“Everyone in austin, tx disregard that last tweet….y’all will mess around n do it lmao”
While Reynolds apparently thought his remarks were inevitably funny, Coach Bob Stoops for the Okalhoma Sooners certainly did not. He acted immediately in the suspension so that Reynolds would see that this matter was not a joke. With his suspension, he will miss at a minimum this Saturday’s game where the Sooners will play Texas.
The LA times reports that the Twitter account is no longer in active status.
