"Corny AF" - LeBron James Demands Texas A&M Cop to be 'Suspended' After Viral Tunnel Confrontation with SC WR

LA Lakers star LeBron James shared his reaction to a viral incident during Saturday's game between the Texas A&M Aggies and the South Carolina Gamecocks.

The incident came with just a minute left in the first half, when South Carolina wide receiver Nyck Harbor scored an 80-yard touchdown. After scoring, Harbor ran to the northeast tunnel of Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. As Harbor and his teammates made their way back to the field, a Texas state trooper bumped Harper and another Aggies player.

The state trooper also turned around and appeared to have said something towards the players as he pointed at them. The incident quickly spread on social media and generated reactions from fans, including James.

"That A&M cop needs to (be) suspended! That was premeditated and corny AF!! 🤦🏾‍♂️. He went out his way to start some sh*t. Do better man," James tweeted Saturday.

According to a statement by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) released to The Athletic, the state trooper involved was "sent home from the game." In addition, the DPS's Office of Inspector General will be "looking into the matter."
