On Monday, a Louisiana district attorney decided not to follow through and pursue charges against Hootie Jones and Cam Robinson —- key Alabama football players —- due to insufficient evidence.

The reason for not pursuing the charges might have been pretty ridiculous as he said he "refused to ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and teenage years, working and sweating, while we were all in the air conditioning."

That didn't sit too well with Fox Sports talking head Clay Travis. He had quite a few comments about it and Alabama players were absolutely not letting that slide.
Sounds like something an unathletic person would say. "Ignorance is bliss." pic.twitter.com/phuc1teBwp

Great point. Funny how there's a misconception about the work athletes put in. College athletes have 12+ hour days. https://t.co/78tZtVE86z

And Clay Travis desperately tried to defend himself, but to no avail.
Bama QB thinks athletes work hard compared to doctors, lawyers and investment bankers. So wrong. https://t.co/vkDvefxSU0

Sounds like you have the personal experience of being an athlete, doctor, lawyer, and investment banker.

You're comparing something where there is no need for comparison. No need to dig through things to cause controversy.

That seemed to be the end of the back-and-forth and I would venture to say the players got the last laugh in this one. For a guy who's supposed to know about college football and has a weekly SEC football show, he doesn't seem to know as much as he should.
