The Florida Bar announced it has suspended an employee while it investigates social media comments that were sent to a University of Miami football player after the Hurricanes’ win over rival Florida State.
The Bar said the suspension is temporary and will remain in effect as it reviews the messages, which were allegedly directed at the player following the game. No further details about the content of the comments or the identity of the employee have been released.
The incident stems from the high‑profile college football matchup between Miami and Florida State, a longstanding rivalry that draws significant attention in the state of Florida.
The Florida Bar, the state agency that licenses and regulates lawyers and other legal professionals, has the authority to suspend staff members whose conduct may violate its professional standards.
The investigation is ongoing, and the Bar has not indicated whether additional disciplinary measures will be taken after the review is completed.
