This situation has turned even more tense
Things are going sideways for San Francisco 49ers long-snapper Taybor Pepper was attacked on social media over the weekend after what he thought it would be a post that would find people in a good place after the shooting that injured Ricky Pearsall.
“Cannot believe I had to mute replies to my last tweet,” Pepper posted to his social media following an early message of support for his teammate. It was an unfortunate situation after what he thought it was a sign of support.
People did not stop
Ricky Pearsall was shot when a 17-year-old attempted to rob him of his Rolex by using a gun and then the rookie fought back. That led to multiple shots going off and one of them struck him in the chest.
Taybor Pepper commented “Glad to hear Ricky is stable,” but that made social media users speak loud and clear about what they thought was an opportunity that Pepper took to take a shot at his teammate over his political persuasion.

The long-snapper has previously been outspoken about his politics views on his social media platforms, including criticizing the National Association of Black Journalists over hosting a conversation with former president Donald Trump and comments made by popular ESPN host, Pat McAfee.
Now, a situation that seem to be of support has turned into something that was used to attack a player and nobody really knows if it was the correct thing to do.

The 2024 Paris Olympics was Stephen Curry’s first ever appearance in the Paris Olympics. The Golden State Warriors star poured so much athleticism into his first appearance on the international stage that caught everyone’s attention, including popular NBA analyst Skip Bayless.
After Team USA’s 98-87 victory over France in the Olympics final, LeBron James was crowned with the MVP title of the tournament. Soon after that, Bayless stirred controversy by posting on social media that LeBron should not win the MVP title. Rather, the sports analyst sees Curry as the real winner of the title.
“I’M SORRY, NOW THERE’S NO WAY LEBRON IS MVP. IT HAS TO BE STEPH. 17 THREES IN THE SEMI AND THE FINAL. WE WOULD NOT HAVE WON EITHER WITHOUT HIM,” Bayless wrote in an X post.
Curry scored 24 points in the final game against France. With his outstanding shooting skills, the Warriors star hit eight three-pointers, three of which came in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. On the other hand, James contributed 14 points and 10 assists and shot an impressive 60% from the field.
