Charlotte Catholic's Elijah Hood apologizes for "Roll Toilet"

Posted Jun 14, 2013
Charlotte Catholic All-America football player Elijah Hood got a swift lesson about the strength of social media and the spotlight that recruiting can put on top high school athletes Tuesday night. As a joke, Hood made a Vine video he called "Roll Toilet." In it, he showed a stack of recruiting letters he'd gotten from Alabama and Tide coach Nick Saban. Next, he held an envelope from one of the letters above the toilet and flushed it down. (Charlotte Observer)
