Cardale Jones Belittles Female Sports Fans on Twitter, Claims He Was Hacked
That guy sucks.
...at life. But not football, unfortunately.
What he tweeted as a public figure was dumb. What he said I guarantee 90% of men say with their friends at the bar or during a game.
When is it not a pleasant surprise when women know their sports? Now obviously 99% is hyperbole, but I'm willing to wager more men follow sports closely than women hence the notion.
Sorry pal, you and your buddies may do that. "90% of men" don't.
Please don't let facts get in the way.. More men do follow sports than women hence the joke. Keep nitpicking and pretending tho.

Gotta love the Internet where everyone is perfect and non-biased.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that
Sorry pal, you and your buddies may do that. "90% of men" don't.
was directed at your guarantee that nine out of ten men say the same thing Jones did, not your claim that more men follow sports than women.
She/he's kidding himself if he's never come across people joking or teasing about this topic.
I'll go out on yet another limb and guess that saying nine out of ten men don't say something doesn't mean a person has never heard it.
.... Fine most. Cheers. Nitpicking successful.
My account was hacked.
LOL - Upvote for you!!!
You're on a lot of limbs.
That's gotta more stable than if he was just out on one, right?
No. Those 90% are physchologically castrated men. Also know as manginas.
Didn't expect that here. I expected what I've read and SOME of the comments have been funny.
As on OSU fan, I'm prepared for the homer label but I think this is way overblown. I think it is pretty clear he was trying to make jokes (jokes that have been made by plenty a stand up comedian) and not trying to truly disparage half the population.
I grant it looks bad, but I don't think in any context it really is.
NOW, what is unequivocally stupid is the "OMG I WAZ HACKED!!!!"
I think it's pretty clear from the grammar used on those tweets that it is definitely from Mr. we don't come here to play school. At least he was honest about that. From his grammar no one will dispute that he is most assuredly not playing school down there in Columbus.
Well, if he wants to be a comedian, he should go on a reality show or hit open mic night. Otherwise, he should probably think twice (or three times) about the things he posts on Twitter.
Also, as you acknowledge, he shouldn't lie to us and tell us he was hacked. Nobody's going to hack him so they can tell lame jokes about women on his Twitter account.
Wait, what?
I get you are making the very basic point that certain sports probably have more male fans than female, but I'm going to guess that there are some sports (just not covered here or most other places with nearly the gusto of football or basketball) where female fans care a hell of a lot more than men. Hell, the vast majority of people around here cared about softball because Michigan was good at it, and who largely rooted for the team because they were affiliated with UM, which is basically the same "I like the uniforms" argument.
Cardale Jones, a man who once tweeted he didn't go to OSU to play school, posted something dumb on social media. Color me unsurprised "hacked twitter" account aside.
I was referring to the Big 4.
I didn't see anything special on the field from Jones. He looked ok, but not great. There is something to be said for not imploding, considering the circumstances, but people are talking about him like he is someone to be feared as a passer instead of a guy you can count of to not kill your chances of winning a game.
100% of the time when athletes or celebrities say something stupid on Twitter they claim they were hacked.
100% of the time they claim they were hacked they are lying.
at the time the tweet was sent.
He don't play school, man.
This is the reason I actually believe his claim that he was hacked...
I know right? Own it, apologize for being mean, and move on. The whole reason this situation is funny is because of the half-assed attempt to save face.
But it's so much easier to treat everyone like the elderly and proclaim you were "HACKED! OH NO!! SCARY INTERNETS!!" than to apologize for making some mildly offensive statement, or worse yet, stand by your damn convictions that you were just so proud to share with the world not 5 minutes ago.
I honestly don't understand why people think "Oops, I was hacked!" is a believable explanation when getting called out for posting something inflammatory. It would be more believable if they told us that a friend grabbed their phone while they were in the bathroom or they left it at their house, but NOBODY uses that excuse. It's always, "Derp, I was HACKED, LOL"
Denard didn't say anything stupid. His ex-girlfriend did. MGrowOld's statement stands.
Since the word "favorite" came out as "favor," as in "favor sports team," it is likely that the guy who "ain't come here to play school" was responsible for the tweet.
Hey, man. Someone hacked my account yesterday and posted those comments. No harm, though. I actually agree with what they said.
"As bad as those tweets were, Jones was at least smart to say he was hacked."
Really, Larry Brown? We're rewarding this lame ass excuse now?
Oh, I believe you now.
Ohio State education at work there, folks.
No, wait. I'm being unfair to Ohio State. He does not actually go to any classes.
I assume that the "tutors" that do all the work for him have better grammer. That may or may not be a safe assumption.
Once a jack ass, always a jack ass. Sure that urbz wont do anything, other than order more pizza.
Sad man eating pizza? How you be sad eating pizza???
Harbaugh is shocked.
Insults someone's education while making a typo. Classic Internet blunder. Well played.
Maybe he should delete the account?
Everyone gets hacked when they say something stupid. Jones gets hacked frequently. Yeah I believe it.
Is his toaster still loyal?
Not sure about loyal, but it is brave.
in that poster? interesting
Yeah, where do R2-D2 and C3PO find their way into a children's book about a toaster?
Obi-Wan:"These aren't the toasters you're looking for."
Worst mash-up ever.
Get it right.
R2D2 is also a toaster.
I have nightmares from watching that video four times a day! They apparently have a whole series of them. Thankfully my younger one hasn't discovered it yet.
school after all and that was hacked on his account too.
I'm sorry - but I have to respond to this. since it is common practice to point out poor grammar, I feel there is or should also be license to point out that terms such as "retarded" are offensive and have been recognized as such for awhile.
Here is a recentish post on when it is ok to use the word:
