Former Michigan State football player Jermaine Edmondson is suing Draymond Green over an incident that happened last summer, and Twitter has spoken.
Former Michigan State football player Jermaine Edmondson is suing former Spartan basketball star Draymond Green over an incident that happened last summer. Unfortunately, it’s not going over well with Edmondson’s former teammates and Michigan State Twitter.

In fact, when the video of him reacting to the lawsuit was released by his lawyers, Edmondson got absolutely fried on Twitter by anyone and everyone.
In case you haven’t seen the video yet, check it out:

Obviously, this is going to draw some scrutiny from fans and media members, but even some former teammates of his chimed in and, well, it wasn’t pretty.
This is ridiculous. https://t.co/BI5yDezs1n

Twitter hates Draymond Green yet I struggle to find anyone sympathetic to Jermaine Edmondson.

Tells you how fraudulent JE’s claim is.
The Jermaine Edmondson\Draymond Green lawsuit is hilarious. Dude, you got slapped, get over it

Jermaine Edmondson looking to get paid

As you can tell, not many people, if any at all, are on the side of Edmondson in this battle. The former Michigan State defensive back was once known for putting the crucial block on a would-be Michigan tackler to get Jalen Watts-Jackson into the end zone. Now, he’s known for suing Draymond.
The lawsuit has gone viral, mostly because of the video that was released by Edmondson and his lawyers. “I wake up in the middle of the night crying,” Edmondson said. That’s the one line that’s going to stick with him for the rest of his life, most likely.

While he transferred from Michigan State prior to the 2016 season, Edmondson is still trying to find work at the next level. It’s going to be tough for an NFL team to take a chance on him if he’s involved in a meaningless lawsuit such as this one.
