During halftime of Sunday’s win against the Washington Commanders, Gainwell received a direct message on Instagram stating, “Hold on to the football you [bleeping] bum.” He replied, “Lil boy don’t text me.” The fan surfaced a screenshot of his interaction across social media, which caused the coaching staff to address the issue with Gainwell after the game.
I honestly don’t get why this is such a big deal, but people seem to be talking about it. I think his response was honestly pretty fair
Seriously how is this controversy at all. Someone was shit talking and he basically just said shut up.
Am I missing something?
I think the main controversy is him taking time to respond to randos on Instagram during the half, not the response. Which is like whatever, but at least it’s a little more valid
I kinda get that, but come on. Who isn’t gonna check their phone in this day and age?
