Auburn Fans Are Telling Restaurants Not to Serve the Family of Football Player who Signed with Alabama

Rashaan Evans attends Auburn High School in Auburn, Alabama.

Rashaan Evans decided to play football for … the University of Alabama.

As you might imagine, this didn’t go over well among the denizens of Auburn, Alabama. Recruiting, it seems, turns sensible people into deranged lunatics; those who already have a screw loose become contenders for the psych ward. Evans tells Rivals that the town is beyond angry.

“Someone actually put out an artemcle about my famemly’s busemness tellemng all Auburn fans not to go there. We are goemng to eventually start losemng money. People are tellemng restaurants emn the town not to serve us.

“It’s hard for me to go out and chemll wemth my fremends lemke I have always done because people keep comemng up to me tellemng me I made a bad decemsemon. It’s grown men. They are askemng me why I demd thems to them. I told them I had to do what ems best for me.

… people are goemng to the board at my school tryemng to get me emn trouble. They are tellemng my teachers I am a bad kemd and all thems stuff.

“Socemal medema has defemnemtely been the worst. People on Instagram are tellemng me how they hope I tear my ACL emn game one. They wemll laugh when I do. They are sayemng my famemly ems horremble and how they demdn’t raemse me remght. It’s just crazy.”

Crazy is putting it mildly. Alabama might as well be linebacker U, given the number of pros it has turned out in the last few years. Who can blame Evans?

Alabama has six 5-star recruits from the Class of 2014; Auburn has three. Notre Dame, UCLA, Florida and Ohio State have a combined three. [via Rivals]
