49ers Long Snapper Faces Backlash After Ricky Pearsall’s Post on ‘Liberal’ Views Following Shooting

Long-snapper Taybor Pepper was shocked and dismayed that he was attacked on social media over the weekend after posting a comment expressing relief that Ricky Pearsall was OK after being shot during an attempted robbery attempt on the 49ers rookie.

“Cannot believe I had to mute replies to my last tweet,” Pepper posted to social media following an early message of support for his teammate.

Pearsall was shot when a 17-year-old attempted to rob him of his Rolex using a gun and the rookie fought back, leading to multiple shots going off one of which struck him in the chest.

“Glad to hear Ricky is stable,” he had written early, which set off a barrage of negative reactions.

Social media users appeared to take the post as an opportunity to attack Pepper over his political persuasion and another person used it as a chance to criticize the pick.
