God, it still tickles me even to this day!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/sports\/how-fsu-let-one-magical-season-set-program-back-another-five-years\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">The Seminoles have been on a generational run of L&#8217;s lately<\/a>, and the fact this banger of a tweet gets dragged back into the public consciousness every MLK Day doesn&#8217;t help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s funnier, the fact that they made it all about themselves on a day that should be dedicated to one man and one man only, or the fact that they put FSU-branded receiver gloves on him as if he was running post patterns at the Birmingham Protest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Truly one of the most tone-deaf tweets of our era.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Fortunately, the Seminoles have learned from the error of their ways, putting out a perfectly acceptable graphic for the holiday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">See, that wasn&#8217;t so hard, was it? Unfortunately, the comments are filled with references to their now-infamous tweet from seven years ago, but at least they&#8217;re trying!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Now someone take the FSU social media admin&#8217;s phone before Juneteenth rolls around, please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They sure &#8220;did something,&#8221; alright.
