Alabama players blasted Fox Sports' Clay Travis on Monday following a column he published on Alabama players Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones.

Travis, known for strong takes and clickbait, wrote Monday that athletes "don't work very hard" in light of the Ouachita Parish district attorney's decision to not prosecute Robinson and Jones. Robinson and Jones were both arrested May 17 and faced multiple charges, including a felony charge of possession of a stolen gun for Robinson, before the DA's decision on Monday to not move forward with the charges.

District attorney Jerry Jones told KNOE that he refused to "ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and their teenage years, working and sweating, while we were all home in the air conditioning."

Travis, evidently, took umbrage with that statement but with his own faulty reasoning.

"This is one of the most absurd cliches that has taken root in sporting life," Travis wrote. "Athletes, at most, train 3-4 hours a day. Every doctor, lawyer, investment banker, accountant, teacher and fast food worker in the country works harder than an athlete does. In fact, there are no jobs in America that pay more for less work than athletics."

Alabama players Blake Barnett and Mekhi Brown were quick to call out Travis on Twitter for his comments.

Sounds like something an unathletic person would say. "Ignorance is bliss." pic.twitter.com/phuc1teBwp — B² (@Blake8Barnett) June 20, 2016

Put them in our shoes and they'll quit lol. There is a reason why jobs prefer former athletes over the reg students https://t.co/HBrLgYG9PE — Mekhi Brown (@MekhiBrownn) June 20, 2016

Travis eventually responded to Barnett's tweet.

Bama QB thinks athletes work hard compared to doctors, lawyers and investment bankers. So wrong. https://t.co/vkDvefxSU0 — Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) June 20, 2016

Which prompted another response from Barnett, the former five-star quarterback prospect and redshirt freshman at Alabama.

Sounds like you have the personal experience of being an athlete, doctor, lawyer, and investment banker. — B² (@Blake8Barnett) June 20, 2016

You're comparing something where there is no need for comparison. No need to dig through things to cause controversy. — B² (@Blake8Barnett) June 20, 2016

Travis also stated that he believed Robinson and Jones benefited from athlete privilege.

Joe Guerriero, the defense attorney for the two Alabama players, has strongly fought back against that notion. He told NFL Network that "all this stuff about players getting preferential treatment, it's a bunch of hooey." Guerriero told AL.com the police had a weak case.

"There was no justifiable grounds for prosecution under any evidence rule that exists," Guerriero said. "It's basic 101 Law that there were no grounds for prosecution based on what happened."
