Or you’ll hurt his feewings
quote:

. Someone searched through his Twitter account and noticed that back in college he had an affinity for Chinese food, and he loved tweeting about it. They screenshotted every tweet and made a collage that quickly went viral. "I always called it China food," Lacy, 27, says with a grin. "There is no way around it, I love sesame chicken and shrimp fried rice so much. It's awesome." He chuckled at first, but the collage also stung. It kept showing up in his feed, an endless cycle of snark, rebooted each day. "It sucks," Lacy says. "It definitely sent me into a funk. I wish I could understand what they get out of it."

i think the bigger issue is how people like Lacy assume that their public comments on Twitter should be/are forgotten

Deleting it, not giving a shite about strangers trying to get a rise out of you and focusing on your job woulda been a normal response to me, but what do I know.
Besides, it’s more of a shot at espn for writing an article about twitter being mean to a fat kid

but why are random people, that don't know him other than him being in the NFL, going out of their way to hurt him emotionally? The things that people get pleasure out of are crazy

hes human dude. he is far from complaining about how his "feewings" are hurt. he isnt trying to put those people on blast about his "struggle" or anything. hes just saying its not awesome for himself to look at. which i think is a pretty normal response to have

Trevor's Axiom. The troll screws with Lacy so people get mad at the troll himself, but the real success comes from the backlash from the masses that attack those that defend Lacy. I'll not perpetuate this one any further, I hope Eddie Lacy will get some help through counseling. Eating disorders and the self shame that accompany them are bigger deals than hurt feewings.

Technically he started losing weight, it was well documented and incentivized

I do hold Lacey responsible. His body is his source of money. He should understand that he needs to make sure his body is at peak performance at all times. Not eating shitty is not that hard.

Dude seems like he's on a weight roller coaster. His weight was an issue at the beginning of last season as well and then he dropped quite a few lbs.

He was inactive last week. Did he gain it back or is it cause he’s just not very good?

basically

people have just become to self-centric that they've warped what social media is, in their mind

it's like on FB when you comment against somebody's post and they freak out with the common "i didn't ask for your comments" response

well, you posted something on a platform created to allow/promote commentary on those posts, so you did
