When Odell Beckham Jr. slapped the behind of a security guard at the College Football National Championship Game, he didn’t expect an arrest warrant.
Cleveland Browns pass-rusher Myles Garrett knows exactly how OBJ thought it was going to go down.
He made that very clear on Twitter.
The Backstory
At the national title game between LSU and Clemson, OBJ was in attendance in support of LSU.
After the game, OBJ was accused of simple battery after he slapped the buttocks of a Superdome security guard.
According to Ramon Antonio Vargas and Carlie Wells of NOLA.com, the police sought chargers after a video of the incident was made public on social media.
In the video, Beckham is shown slapping the guard’s behind and saying “get the gat” repeatedly.

In the end, the guard elected to not press charges.
Garrett Goes Troll Mode
After the conclusion of The Last Dance, many were engaged with discussions of the documentary.
The final two episodes chronicled the battles between the Chicago Bulls and Utah Jazz in the 1997 and 1998 NBA Finals.
As for Garrett, he couldn’t help but use a clip that featured Jazz power forward Karl Malone and Bulls forward, Dennis Rodman to use as a reference to OBJ’s incident.

The Response
For the most part, the response has not been taken well.
That was because before Garrett posted the tweet, he was already taken flack for his tweet about Malone.
Karl Malone going into the bus after that last championship and saying congrats to MJ is sportsmanship at its finest. #LastDance

After Garrett made that tweet, fans and analysts used it to rip him for his helmet hit on Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph.

In the end, it didn’t really matter that he was poking fun at his teammate.
He had already poked the Twitter bear.
