hings 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.

Pepper commented over his teammate expressing relief that Pearsall was ok after being shot during an attempted robbery. People did not took it well and he even said that he had to avoid any contact with anyone over the Internet.

“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.
