Ole Miss Student Mocks Kyren Lacy’s Death With Shameful Joke About College Baseball Sucker Punch

Ole Miss Baseball LSU Fan punch assault arrest kyren lacy post

A college student at Ole Miss shamefully mocked the death of former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy in response to a physical altercation at a college baseball game on Saturday. It was awful.

I do not know whether the university will choose to take action against this kind of behavior and/or language or if it even has the ability to do so.

Fortunately, the initial post from the college baseball game has since been deleted because of the widespread backlash. Rebels fans will not tolerate this.

The Burnerverse craves attention.

Before we go any further down this road, let me be very clear that I very much do not want to give any attention to the Burnerverse. I am giving this anonymous poster exactly what he (or she, I guess) wanted. People are talking about his post and that is the whole point of the Burnerverse. Anonymous attention.

For me to even write this article and give this post the time of day will be considered a win by the original poster because viral is viral— no matter how twisted it might be. I am only forced to address it because I was tagged in direct response to this horrific post. It was awful. I strongly disavow.

Now let’s back up…

An LSU fan sucker-punched an Ole Miss student.

I was not aware of the original post from an account called ‘Lane Kiffin’s Aborted Baby’ until late Monday night because I was mostly away from my phone over the weekend, enjoying time with friends. However, I did still have my eye on the college baseball series between Ole Miss (my alma mater) and LSU.

The Rebels ultimately swept the Tigers in dominant fashion but the most viral moment from the weekend took place in right field. I am sure you have already seen the video on social media.

A 52-year-old man named Alton Linwood Bloodworth showed up to the Ole Miss student section wearing an LSU jersey. Security asked him to leave because he was actively looking for trouble as the antagonist. He even at one point put his hands on the neck of a student.

Bloodworth was later escorted out of right field. As he neared the exit, a student wrongfully threw a beer in his face. Bloodworth responded by throwing a pair of punches. Except he punched the wrong guy.

He was arrested, booked, and charged with assault.

Lane Kiffin (the real Lane Kiffin) posted about the sucker punch in support of the LSU fan. It was lated deleted. That was not the only post to be deleted over the weekend. The other post was much worse.

A burner account made reference to the death of Kyren Lacy on social media.

Now that we’re all caught up on the Bloodworth incident, lets talk about the reprehensible post from ‘Lane Kiffin’s Aborted Baby’. I cannot believe that is a real sentence I am forced to write.

The post featured a photo of the student who got punched by Bloodworth with blood running down his face near his right eye. (I am not going to post the photo because many of our most prominent traffic providers would flag this article as “promoting violence” and punish BroBible accordingly.)

The caption to the post read: “Heartwarming: Ole Miss fan pays tribute to late LSU WR Kyren Lacy by bleeding from the same place he shot himself” and featured the tag “RIP LSU”. It was in direct reference to a former Tigers wide receiver who tragically took his own life just a few weeks before the NFL Draft. BroBible has covered his death and the controversial fallout extensively.

The post from ‘Lane Kiffin’s Aborted Baby’ was disgusting. Rebels fans of all ages immediately called for the post to be deleted because it was of such poor taste.

A Louisiana reporter called me out by name.

I did not see the Lacy post before it was deleted. I was only made aware of the Burnerverse post on Monday night when my friend sent me a separate post from Louisiana sports reporter Chris Marler.

Marler actually tagged me below his post but I did not see the tag because I am not interested in his content. I have his account on mute.

He asked: “I wonder if that guy from Bro Bible that said I hated old people in Oxford is gonna write a story about this too.” His targeted quip was in reference to an article I wrote at the end of January.

Marler made a classless joke about a catastrophic ice storm that left the city of Oxford, Mississippi in shambles and delayed classes by more than a week. It was in poor taste. Many of my friends are still recovering from the damage. The entire city will never look exactly the same. 14 people died in the state.

Mind you, there is a very big difference between the ice storm “joke” and the Lacy “joke” in terms of who posted them. One was shared by a grown man. The other was shared by a (presumably intoxicated) college student whose frontal lobe has yet to fully develop. Surely you can see the difference.

But with that being said, the post from the Ole Miss fan behind the burner account ‘Lane Kiffin’s Aborted Baby’ is so much worse. I strongly disavow. As does the rest of the alumni base.

I would be curious to know whether the University of Mississippi is even able to investigate the Lacy post but I don’t know all of the legal nuance. Either way, it must not be tolerated.
