I saw it live and thought his replies were a mistake. It did tell me though that they were just as pissed off abut the game as we were.

His tweets weren't even that bad.

If idiot fans can belittle players on social media, why can't players at least respond?

That's nothing... And there is no guarantee he was the one who actually responded. Could've been a paid PR person who manages his social media presence...

Highly doubtful. He doesn't make the kind of money to warrant a PR person, and a PR person wouldn't have responded that way.

They can respond however they want IMO...

But athletes are celebrities, you have to take the criticism when earned, not just show up for the curtain call after a great performance.

I'm sure it was the heat of the moment thing for him and I totally understand the frustration. He could have handled it more professionally, but when you are so competitive you forget about the consequences of your actions until you are calmed down. He could have said way worse, IMO.

I cant imagine what it's like to pick up your phone and see that you have 100 tweets from armchair Quarterbacks telling you that you suck.

If I were an athlete there is no way I would have any social media. But Badgers tweets are a total non story I mean seriously, this is the internet that we're talking about. Telling someone to sit down is like the equivalent of a twitter hug. lol

Players responding is even more ridiculous.


The only time I have done it was to Sean Miller..... And it was more indirect tagging him in something lambasting his ****ty offense that year.

He blocked me.

I also am blocked by Kent Somers, which doesn't bother me one bit.
