" The third and last issue revolves around Gay being ejected from the Egg Bowl in 2018. A fight broke out while Mississippi State was playing Ole Miss, their biggest rival. Gay was ejected after incurring two separate “unsportsmanlike conduct” penalties.

This situation however, involves a little nuance, as every player during that game received an “unsportsmanlike conduct” following a brawl that saw the benches from both teams hit the field. During the fight, Gay was relatively reserved and did not instigate or continue the fight. But since he had already received a similar penalty, he and several other players were ejected from the game.
The Egg Bowl is a tradition in Mississippi, where the two biggest schools in the state play against each other. The stakes in this game are more than just bragging rights and pride. These two schools recruit heavily from the same areas and a recent win in the Egg Bowl can be what it takes to convince a high school recruit. "




This is what happens when people read a snippet but don't actually know or understand what happened.  AGAIN he doesn't have the issues on the field that make him like Burfict in any way.  He's never been considered a dirty player or someone who intentionally tries to hurt people.  Let's not forget that the thing everyone remembers about Burfict in the Steeler's game is the helmet to helmet hits and his inability to learn to tackle differently.
