Earlier today somebody hacked the NFL’s official Twitter account. But instead of using the hack to post something witty and funny, the hacker posted a tweet (since deleted) claiming Commissioner Roger Goodell had died.
The fake tweet read, "We regret to inform our fans that our commissioner, Roger Goodell, has passed away. He was 57. #RIP."
Think of Goodell what you will, but that's way beyond anything even remotely appropriate. Goodell of course is alive and well, and the league is again in control of its @NFL twitter account, though not before the hacker got two more Tweets in.
The first one read, "Oi, I said Roger Goodell has died. Don’t delete that tweet."
The third and final tweet read, "OK, OK, you amateur detectives win. Good job."
I'm sure you would have done a lot better with the account than the hacker did, so here's my question to you:
If you had hacked the NFL's Twitter account, what would you have tweeted?
Be creative with your answers. If we get enough good answers, we'll run the best of them in a separate post later this week. But a reminder, stay within site decorum; any comments about subjects proscribed by site guidelines or in bad taste will result in moderation action. Stay classy, BTB!
