Jayden Daniels<\/a> is getting trolled … by the New York Mets<\/a>, of all teams.<\/p>\n

The Washington Commanders<\/a> quarterback has been embroiled in an unusual dispute with his alma mater, LSU<\/a>. Daniels’ spokesperson told ESPN that the quarterback took issue with the Tigers allowing cornerback DJ Pickett<\/a> 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<\/a> sent to Tigers athletic director Verge Ausberry, a copy of which was obtained by ESPN on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The dispute has become fodder for internet trolling. StubHub announced<\/a> it would “no longer offer tickets in groups of 5.” NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team TRICON Garage said it would not be running<\/a> No. 5 at a race Friday. The account for Minor League Baseball made a joke<\/a> 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

As of Saturday, the post had over 8,700 retweets and 108,000 likes. The Mets rank 22nd in MLB with 514 runs scored.br\/]<\/p>\n
