Tweet Leads to Athlete's Dismissal From Team

University of Oklahoma receiver Jaz Reynolds was suspended indefinitely by head coach Bob Stoops after tweeting, "Hey everyone in Austin, tx....... kill yourself #evillaugh."

The tweet was sent shortly after a University of Texas student committed suicide in a library on campus. Later in the week the Oklahoma and Texas football teams would face each other in the Red River Rivalry game in Dallas, Texas.

Coach Stoops decided to remove Reynolds from the team and stated, "Our rivalry with Texas will not come at the expense of dignity and respect."

This is just one of many instances in which athletes have gotten into trouble for tweets, but is one of few instances in which the consequence was indefinite suspension from the team.
