Controversial Hit On Travis Hunter Has Social Media Buzzing

Controversial Hit On Travis Hunter Has Social Media Buzzing

Last Saturday a big time rivalry college football game was played. A lot of trash talk on social media was going on before this game of Colorado Vs Colorado State. During the 1st half, the best two way player in the country was running a deep route where his quarterback Sheduer Sanders overthrew him. After the ball had already landed and rolled a bit, Henry Blackburn a safety for Colorado State came in and put one of the dirtiest hits in college football history on Hunter.  Hunter was hospitalized after suffering a lacerated liver.

This hit was not the end though. Blackburn is now receiving death threats for his dirty hit on Hunter. Lebron James even spoke on the matter saying ¨Like I don´t understand the difference between targeting and what I just witnessed. I´ve seen others get thrown out for far less. That was blatant and uncalled for IMO!¨. Travis Hunter recently spoke out on the situation saying it was a football play and that he just has to stay humble. FBI is now working with Blackburn and his family to make sure he is safe from Travis Hunter fans. Prayers to Hunter for a speedy recovery.
