Twitter/X can be one of the best apps in the world thanks to how many people you can connect with, interact with communities with your same interests, and let's be honest, witness some of the funniest interactions you'll ever see.
But it can also be an exhausting app, as Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin probably knows by now after he became one of the most famous humans on Earth under the unfortunate circumstances of his Monday Night Football collapse during the 2022 season.
Those lessons were reinforced on Friday through Antonio Brown, the former NFL superstar turned controversial and problematic personality on social media.
Brown, responding to a tweet which posed the question, "(Who's) a fictional character’s death that you have NOT gotten over?," simply used a picture of Hamlin as some sort of attempt at dark (and pretty unfunny) humor.
Less than an hour later, Hamlin decided to response with a strong-worded message, in which he pointed out that Brown had just sent him a direct message on Monday and that the former star was probably bitter due to the lack of a reply.
"I pray God don't ever let me turn into a burnt out old head like you," Hamlin typed. "I used to look up to you (…) Talk 'bout a clone, bring the real AB back!"
I can't blame Hamlin for not pulling his punches. Honestly, he shouldn't be dealing with any of this, let alone from someone who should know what it's like to be out there on an NFL field and who knows a thing or two about taking scary hits on the gridiron.
Ultimately, Hamlin's message is one Bills and all NFL fanbases can relate to: What happened to Antonio Brown the NFL phenomenon? He went from being on a Hall of Fame trajectory early in his career to someone trying to farm engagement on social media through wild tweets like the above. It's getting sadder and sadder.
