On Thursday, Mississippi State K Westin Graves revealed that he recently had surgery for a herniated disc at the completion of the 2016 season. To avoid risk of further injury, Graves has retired from football.

Upon learning of Graves’ injury, Bulldogs fan Heath Sellers sent Graves a note of apology via Twitter:

Graves appreciated the gesture and accepted Sellers’ apology.

One can hope that Sellers and Graves’ interaction will make an impression on other fans who may go over the line in criticizing student athletes on social media.
