Lions offensive lineman Tyrell Crosby majored in public policy and management while at Oregon. On Tuesday, he asked a very pertinent question relating to those interests on Twitter, and it has drawn a major reaction.

“If as an NFL player we aren't allowed to be on games (which I fully agree with), why are government officials allowed to buy stocks/stock options?” Crosby asked.

His first tweet has over 50,000 total retweets and 300,000 likes on Twitter.

Crosby followed his initial tweet, bringing up numerous instances of congress members violating the law in recent years.
