There is no news about who started the fight. It is unclear which players were involved. Several questions remain unaddressed. Meanwhile, another player got attacked in the tunnel following the game. As a result, several users vented out their anger on Twitter. They demand strong and meaningful steps to address the issue.
This fan has called out for stern action.
Suspend the whole team for the remainder of the season.

A user asked why the teammates did not turn up for help.
How did he get caught like that all by himself without a single teammate in striking distance to help him get out of there? They are clearly going to have to do something about the tunnel situation in Ann Arbor.

This fan said he can’t take a stand based on the video.
I’m not going to pass judgment on this video because it doesn’t show everything that led up to this altercation. The MS kids look wrong and suspensions look appropriate. But I still need to know what happened to cause their reaction before I judge.

A fan said this action deserves strict punishment.
Well that should earn a season ending suspension or two maybe kicked off team and out of school. Also @UMichFootball build another tunnel @MSU_Football Mel Tucker don't play that

On a whole, most fans are opposed to the fight.
Head Coach demands action, fans echo the same opinion
Michigan State coach Mel Tucker tried to get his players out of the tunnel after the incident. Meanwhile, Wolverines HC, Jim Harbaugh said he demands action at the earliest. “Two of our players were assaulted,” Harbaugh said. “You saw the video, the 10 on 1. Pretty bad,” he added. Several NFL fans raised their doubts about the video. The University of Michigan deputy chief of police Melissa Overton said there will be an investigation by the authorities.
A user thought this was a trimmed video.
I think the question is where is the whole video, how/why was he down there by himself, and what was done said prior to this obviously trimmed video. 🤷🏾♂️

Another fan had this explanation to offer.
Is anyone wondering why a single Michigan football player is standing alone among all the MSU players in the tunnel? It’s because he wanted to be there and was looking for trouble. The Michigan player along with at least 3 MSU players should be suspended.

A user bought out a different perspective.
One of the biggest stadiums in the country and both teams exit the game in the same tunnel, you really think that was going to go well?

Another fan said players need to learn more.
MSU forefiets rest of the season. Players need to learn that their actions have consequences.

Meanwhile, a fan added some sarcasm.
Only dude with no helmet on fighting 6 dudes geared from head to toe…

On the whole, the incident needs to be examined, say most fans.
