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.

    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
