NFL Team's Trolling Tweet Blasts Miami Heat Fans

Miami Heat fans have already been roasted on social media once during their team's second consecutive NBA title run, as well as victimized by an excellent videobomb on national TV.

But the NFL's Baltimore Ravens piled on some more hate on Tuesday with a troll-tastic tweet making fun of Heat supporters.

The Ravens' Twitter post contrasted fan turnout for their own Super Bowl victory parade in February with the Heat's celebratory championship parade held earlier this week:

#BALTIMORE sure knows how to throw a party!!! #WorldChamps #Ravens pic.twitter.com/iEGWseLkBD— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) June 25, 2013

While many sports fans on Twitter got a good laugh out of the post, it rubbed other folks in the Miami area the wrong way.

Fox Sports Florida took umbrage to the post post, writing, "We're not exactly sure why the person who runs the Baltimore Ravens' Twitter feed felt the need to try to poke fun of the Heat's victory parade."

And, according to the site, the Ravens had it all wrong. Fox Sports says the Heat parade actually drew 400,000 fans -- about twice the number that showed up for the celebration in Baltimore. It also suggested some other more flattering photos the Ravens could have used instead:
