Beyonce's nearly 20-minute performance at Sunday's MTV VMAs left many people speechless. The 32-year-old, who also received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award for lifetime achievement, put on an unforgettable show that features cameos from her husband, Jay-Z, and her daughter, Blue.

Eric LeGrand had something to say about Beyonce's performance, but it wasn't what anyone would have expected.

The former Rutgers football player, who was paralyzed while making a tackle against Army in October 2010, sent out this tweet to his 132,000 followers after watching Beyonce perform her song, "Drunk in Love":


The image shows the moment that LeGrand became paralyzed, and not all of his followers found the joke funny.


For the most part, however, it seems people gave LeGrand the benefit of the doubt.



An hour after the original tweet, LeGrand sent out this message:


LeGrand has been known to have a sense of humor about his predicament, and in the past he's moved on quickly when his paralysis became the subject of controversy. Still, it is a little jarring to see such a devastating injury employed for the sake of humor.
