As much as I endorse their troll here, the Mets are the last organization that should be deriding anyone right nowMets troll Jayden Daniels over LSU NIL dispute
Jayden Daniels is getting trolled ... by the New York Mets, of all teams.
The Washington Commanders quarterback has been embroiled in an unusual dispute with his alma mater, LSU. Daniels' spokesperson told ESPN that the quarterback took issue with the Tigers allowing cornerback DJ Pickett to wear the No. 5 jersey that Daniels donned during his Heisman-winning season in 2023. Daniels' attorney has informed LSU that it can no longer use his name, image and likeness, according to an Aug. 5 letter sent to Tigers athletic director Verge Ausberry, a copy of which was obtained by ESPN on Wednesday.
The dispute has become fodder for internet trolling. StubHub announced it would "no longer offer tickets in groups of 5." NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team TRICON Garage said it would not be running No. 5 at a race Friday. The account for Minor League Baseball made a joke about a postponed game resuming at 5:05 p.m. in the fifth inning. But perhaps the most notable troll came Friday night after the Mets' 4-1 win over the Washington Nationals.
After the win, which came against the Commanders' neighbor in MLB, the Mets posted a graphic saying they "Stopped at 4 out of respect for Jayden Daniels."
