— Russell Wilson (@DangeRussWilson) September 12, 2015 Russell Wilson-Rams Twitter fiasco ended when a fan got flipped off with Super Bowl ring
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
This was Russell Wilson’s tweet on Saturday. He has tweeted things like this before. In fact, he calls for a Seahawks’ win almost every week. On Sunday the Rams took exception and pointed out his foible.
Hey @DangeRussWilson, don't delete this... https://t.co/MJmLa9lUDW
— St. Louis Rams (@STLouisRams) September 13, 2015 Linebacker Akeem Ayers couldn’t help getting in on the fun.
Twitter Fingers @DangeRussWilson
— AKEEM AYERS (@Akeem_Ayers) September 14, 2015 Which prompted a fan to reference Wilson’s Super Bowl ring.
There’s just one problem with this ‘burn’: Ayers has a Super Bowl ring too. He was on the Patriots team that beat the Seahawks in 2015.
So this happened ...
It took Ayers 28 minutes to tweet this photo. It looks like it was taken at a portrait studio. Did Ayers quickly erect a photo booth in his house for the picture? Did he have a photo on hand of him flipping people off with his ring? The mind boggles.
