Ohio State QB Shuts Down Fan Who Told Him To Stay Out Of 'Black Lives Matter'

[DonViejo]

College Football Playoff National Champion and potential starting quarterback for The Ohio State University Cardale Jones cemented his support of the Black Lives Matter movement on Thursday morning after a fan told him told him to concentrate on football.

Jones — who rose to national prominence after becoming the third starting quarterback for the Buckeyes in 2014 — stopped a fan in his tracks after the fan told the young football player to keep his mind on winning another championship.

The fan, who went by the username @DGus1228, deleted his account shortly thereafter, but not before TPM got a screengrab of the exchange.

1. Burn......3rd degree at that.

[Agnosticsherbet]

2. Very, very good, Mr. Jones.

[AverageGuy]

21. I want my Jets to draft this guy

[freshwest]

3. That's a smack. If you see a crime in process, the fan probably thinks you should ignore that, too?

[MineralMan]

4. Nicely done.

[Eleanors38]

5. HA! Settled that.

[heaven05]

6. SMACK DOWN!!!!!!

Very good for Mr. Jones. Put that sucker in his place.....

7. knowing how obsessed we are w/ OSU football

this year is going to be interesting.
Ohio State Football is the civic religion of Columbus O-H-I-O.

8. "foolsball" - I bet while he is flinging the ball he is thinking that he could do better than

entertaining a lot of well-off alumni in the Colosseum on crisp fall weekends.

I suspect he has a lot more to offer than that.

[jtuck004]

15. "He'll learn ... " < Oh, maybe he will stay "arrogant", and do something that has more impact on

life than foolsball. Wouldn't be too difficult, I would think.

Or, as you say, perhaps he will learn his place...

[jtuck004]

22. No, not really. But it strikes me that anyone who bites their tongue so their owner won't

lose profits has learned quite well. " He'll learn ... " As you wrote...

Maybe a little less restraint might lead to a few less murders. It ain't workin' like it is.

[jtuck004]

24. "unless he plays Oregon again" < lol. n/t

[7962]

31. Most teams have restrictions on how players are allowed to use social media.

Nothing new. they are part of a team and they're actions or statements reflect on those teams. Some players are let go for things they've said. Thats the way it goes. You know it when you sign the contract.

[SusanCalvin]

9. I'm so glad he did that. It was perfect.

That fan did act like he owned him.

[Enthusiast]

28. There's plenty of right wing Limbaugh listening fans in Central Ohio.

[rbrnmw]

35. 610 WTBN

I hate that station

[Enthusiast]

41. Me too.

[oasis]

37. Hall of Famer, activist Jim Brown hails from that neck of the woods.

It's likely the two will be making contact if they haven't already.

[lark]

11. Told and put in his place!! HA!

Love this exchange. I loathe Ohio State and Urban Meyers (I'm a FL Gators fan so don't forgive him for lying and leaving us high and dry) but have to say I like this guy Jones. He's smart, funny, caring and tuned in - good for him. I wish him well, even though I hate his team.

[BainsBane]

12. My, that Koch conspiracy sure is far reaching

all the way to Ohio State football now.

[DinahMoeHum]

13. Oh snap!

I'm not an Ohio State football fan, but that response was genius.

[skepticscott]

14. The Buckeye fanbase

is seriously infested with redneck racists.

[irisblue]

16. so, so true.

[rurallib]

17. you can't understand how hard it is to cheer for an OSU football player but

as an Iowa fan I will be cheering for Mr. Cardale Jones this year.

[Jack Rabbit]

18. !!

[Ohio Dem]

19. Jones is great on Twitter.

Always funny, and this is just one example. Proud he is a Buckeye. Really has matured and is a wonderful human. I think the world of Cardale Jones.

[Skyward]

39. Same here!

Hoping he has a long and successful career.

[Catherine Vincent]

25. Oh my Gawd that was AWESOME!

[BillZBubb]

26. That "fan" got his ass handed to him.

Wait a minute, he is an ass. So, I guess he got himself handed to himself.

Way to go Jones!

[Enthusiast]

27. Well done, Cardale. Go Bucks!

[Springslips]

29. Now that is the Ohio State way!

Makes this alumni proud!

[ladyVet]

30. Oh, snap! Told that fool. nt

[allan01]

[Thespian2]

33. DGus1228

How did that wet towel feel when it hit your ass?

[rbrnmw]

36. Smack Down

Go Bucks

[certainot]

38. oho state sports supports 6 limbaugh stations and i'll

bet all of them will weigh in on this on the asshole fan's side

what will they say? unless the player is a superstar they'll kick him around for being political. keeping politics out of sports. right?

yeah, right. the rw radio monopoly would fall apart if not for 90+ universities renting their mascots to the 270+ limbaugh/kkk stations to help them sell their lies and racism,

if/when that happens, his supporters need to protest at the university itself and get it off rw radio. that will hurt rw radio. and the more that happens with those 90 schools pissing all over their mission statements, the faster democracy will get back to real.

[MADem]

40. Cripes on a cracker!!! AMAZING!!!

I have never, ever, in my life and in the existence of twitter, seen anyone use 140 characters to such BRILLIANT effect!

If that does not encapsulate the FEELING, and the whole "GET A CLUE" perspective, I don't know what does!

I have no idea who Mr. Jones is, never heard of him quite honestly (I follow sports indifferently) but he is a HERO to me....

[Botany]

42. He can throw the ball too
