Cardale Jones accuses Twitter follower of being racist

Cardale Jones

Cardale Jones took some time on Thursday to share his thoughts on the ongoing “Black Lives Matter” debate. Like anyone with over 200,000 Twitter followers, the Ohio State quarterback received his fair share of criticism and praise.

One guy really rubbed Jones the wrong way.

The 22-year-old sent a tweet expressing concern over African Americans being beaten and killed while in custody, and one follower responded by telling him to stick to football. Jones felt the guy was being racist, and he let him have it. SB Nation captured a screenshot before the account was deleted.

You can see some more of Jones’ tweets about the topic on his timeline.

There have been plenty of instances where athletes say idiotic things on social media (here’s a great example), but none of Jones’ tweets seemed to cross the line in any way. I don’t know if the guy who called him out was being racist or not, but you can’t blame Jones for being upset.
