Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bruce Irvin got in on the April Fools Day fun this morning. It could have gone better.
Pause for effect.
Time to drop the hammer.
How many of yall thought I was serious ?! Haha April fools!!!

Predictably, some people didn’t much care for the drunken-driving joke. Namely, people who have had loved ones killed by those driving under the influence.
Once the backlash hit its tipping point, Irvin offered a non-apology apology to the wrong group of people.
Another banner day for Twitter. Makes, oh, 3,000 in a row.
