Eric Decker ask Jets fans why they love the Jets, turns out exactly how you thought it would
Howard Simmons/New York Daily News |
Twitter is the front lines of the proverbial war between well intentioned people and the trolls that inhabit the interwebs.
New York Jets wide receiver Eric Decker stumbled head first into this on going war Wednesday when he posted this tweet.
#jetsnation, tell me why you love the @nyjets using #jetsdiehardfan and I'll send a signed prize to my favorite.

To the naive internet user, this looks like a wonderful way to connect to the fan base. But when you do this to a fan base that is as maligned as the Jets fans are, you're not going to get the responses you expected.
@EricDecker87 @nyjets I love the jets because they never fail to SCREW UP THE ENTIRE GODFORSAKEN SEASON EVERY YEAR!! #jetsdiehardfan
