Former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson was the buzz around social media on Friday night after he had to leave a bar in Alabama after being harassed by Alabama fans. Of course Watson led the Tigers to a national championship win over the Crimson Tide this past January by throwing the winning touchdown in the Tigers’ 35-31 victory over Alabama in the national championship game.
Watson completed 36-of-56 passes for 420 yards and three touchdowns in the victory, while also running for a score as well. His 420 yards is a championship game record.
In this edition of What They Are Saying we look at what was said around Twitter about the incident.

Kicking Deshaun Watson out of a bar after taking an L to him in the national championship is easily the lamest thing Alabama has ever done.

Sad day in collegiate sports. It's not that serious. Watson is class personified. Every sports community needs to know that this is not ok.
