The SEC’s Statement on Nick Weatherspoon’s Injury Falls Short, Much Like its Referees

Last night, Mississippi State played in the SEC Tournament against the University of Tennessee. The Bulldogs ultimately lost the game by three points after battling the Vols close all game, but that wasn’t the hardest part of last night.

That would be the devastating injury that Nick Weatherspoon suffered while he was on the floor.

Early in the second half, the younger Weatherspoon brother fell and was apparently injured. Nick was completely defenseless and unable to move. And yet, despite that, the game was not stopped.

The referees in charge of the game did not stop play.
