Mississippi State getting hammered by fans on Twitter

Mississippi State released a statement on the one-game suspension of five-star defensive end Jeffery Simmons on Thursday. Many on Twitter weren’t pleased with the result.

Check out some of the reactions below:

Because pummeling a woman is an effective way to break up a fight. https://t.co/eZCdOouBjd

Jeffery Simmons got a one game suspension for punching a woman? Terrible. I guess you can get away with stuff like that if you're a 5-star.

CAN'T BELIEVE @HailStateFB letting Jeffery Simmons play for them. Watched video of him brutally beating a female down. TERRIBLE @HailState !

Mississippi St. admission of Jeffery Simmons shows that there is nothing about #Baylor that is setting a new trend. #HailState #mediamiss

So, that seems like a pretty light statement by MSU on Jeffery Simmons. One whole game. For repeatedly hitting a woman. Okey dokey, then…

Absolutely despicable that Mississippi State would allow Jeffery Simmons to enroll https://t.co/lqLyl0l4m5

This is how I know people at Mississippi State didn't watch the Jeffery Simmons video. pic.twitter.com/FzUmNoGEF5

@JulieDiCaro look at the story of Jeffery Simmons admitted to Missisippi state. Just more of the big time affect of the all mighty fball $.

Shouldn't be school's choice. Should be SEC policy. Or NCAA policy. Guilty of this? Can't play. Not even tough call. https://t.co/mCwNEcb1UE

Looks like I had a much bigger problem with that video than the Mississippi State coaching staff.

Would Jeffery Simmons have been allowed to enroll at Miss. State as a common student instead of a FB player?

I think we all know the answer
