Fans constantly harangue athletes on Twitter over fantasy sports stats, and NFL star Chris Johnson is apparently sick of the nagging and abuse.
Johnson posted a seemingly innocuous tweet late on Thursday afternoon in which he mentioned the movie Flight and wondered whether or not it's available yet through On Demand. That prompted a tongue-in-tweet response from one Phil J. telling Johnson to focus less on entertainment and more on putting up stats to help his fantasy football team. Johnson then responded with a rather succinct message of his own:
While Johnson's tweet may have been a little harsh, it's a wonder players don't fire back at fans more often. Trolling by fans -- which increasingly includes even death threats -- is seen by many as a growing problem that could eventually have serious repercussions in the sports world. A look at Phil's Twitter feed, however, shows him having fun with his 15 minutes of relative fame.
Do you think Johnson was wrong in writing his "F ur points" tweet, or is that the sort of unfiltered interaction you like to see from athletes on social media? Give us your take in the comments.
