Kirk Herbstreit argues with Alabama fans over Deshaun Watson situation |
On Friday evening, a video was posted of former Clemson quarterback
Deshaun Watson leaving the Innisfree bar which is located just over a mile from Alabama’s Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, AL.
The website SB Nation reported that the Innisfree manager told them, “He was not kicked out, but we don't have any other comment.” The original poster of the video later commented that Watson was told by all the Alabama fans in the bar that he was not welcome there. Later in the night, another video appeared that showed former Tide linebacker Ryan Anderson and former Tide star Wallace Gilberry confronting Watson and gesticulating for him to go. Anderson was one of the players most upset following Alabama's 35-31 loss to Clemson in Tampa, refusing to talk to reporters in the locker room. ESPN College Football Analyst Kirk Herbstreit took to Twitter Saturday to discuss the situation and wound up arguing with Alabama fans who defended the actions of Anderson, Gilberry and the fans who are obviously still upset over Watson and Clemson defeating Alabama 35-31 in the National Championship. Watson threw for 420 yards against Alabama. Somebody please tell me this is a misunderstanding. Somebody PLEASE tell me DeShaun wasn't kicked out of a restaurant/bar at Alabama. https://t.co/erfJ4fN64h Wasn't their fans or the restaurant looking at the video. Looks like 2 Bama players. Which is surprising and very disappointing https://t.co/4RH3ETlKU4 So a man at a bar is now considered Bama?? This is shit that ESPN has to say just to bash Alabama all the time https://t.co/ZcqGayDWNr So that defines us as a team is 2 out of how many players?? Kirk me and you both know he shouldn't even been there...and that was his fault https://t.co/RkoewT9Uyq Visited a friend and her family defines "he shouldn't be there"? Beat it dude. https://t.co/6TtUFMTdRb Yes if they were smart they would've known that wasn't a smart idea dude...its common sense that's all but I guess nobody knows that that is https://t.co/hP3q0b2tix The fact you're defending this is troubling. You need to take a long look in the mirror. And I'm as fair as anyone towards Nick & the Tide! https://t.co/5zceCDIshH You just hate Alabama because that's how ever Ohio State homer is...but it's whatever https://t.co/hP3q0b2tix I'm gonna leave this here for "real" Bama fans to respond to you. Haha!!! https://t.co/YQHIoIwHCe Kirk is worried DW might not sign his new copy of Tiger Beat. https://t.co/ssESuCXyW7 Another Schlep https://t.co/sTwR81IYhE
