Social media often is a source of division, but two days after Christmas, it allowed a football legend to right an overlooked 30-year wrong.

That sparked pushback from several fans, who remembered Bosworth as a controversial self-centered player. Bosworth was an All-American linebacker at the University of Oklahoma and was drafted in the first round, but made it clear he didn’t want to play for the Seahawks. Still, he eventually signed with the organization.
