Social media, specifically Twitter, has become the second screen of sports.
Real-time reaction captured on Twitter can go viral, and mean tweets are read regularly for entertainment purposes.
Well, ESPN’s Katie Nolan took the criticism to another level. She invited fans who made mean tweets about kickers to try and attempt real field goals. The result? Well, it was pretty, but it was quite hilarious.
Check this out, including an appearance by diehard LSU fan “TJ LSU DAD:”
Why in the world would an LSU fan be complaining about the kicking game?
I’ve got nothing!!
Nope! I will defend every single bad word I’ve ever said about a kicker! Past present and future! Was it these fans “job” to kick field goals? Probably not. Is it the kickers job? Yea! That’s why they call it kicking! That’s why he goes to practice multiple times a week, that’s why he’s on the depth chart as a kicker!!! Crappy kickers can cry all they want but that’s they’re job, and usually their ONLY job! If a kicker can’t kick he’s about as useful as a boat that can’t float! Tired of crappy kickers!!!! They deserve EVERY word said about them!
It’s been a long special-teams year in Tuscaloosa.
It’s been a long decade for special teams I think.
“53 yards… that’s like 4 football fields.” I love that man.
