Can’t we all just get along?
That’s what I’m asking myself after seeing one of the lamest Twitter beefs I’ve ever seen in my entire life, involving Houston Texans star J.J. Watt and Pro Football Talk.

After Watt posted a photo of himself wearing a U.S. men’s national soccer jersey in support of the squad before their Copa America game against Argentina in Houston last night, PFT tweeted back at him, calling him out with a quote about Watt trying to seek “no attention at all.”
"Why does everyone always want to talk about me? I'm just minding my own business and seeking no attention at all." https://t.co/K67Av3zsDM

That didn’t sit well with the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, as he replied in kind in an attempt to shutdown the “salty” hater.
you do know how Twitter works, right? If you don't want to see it, stay off my page. Take your saltiness elsewhere.

And just when we all thought that was it, PFT came back with guns blazin’, sacking Watt to the ground with this.
I do stay off your page. I follow your team's page. They retweeted it. That's how Twitter works, right? https://t.co/4arzpy1LzB

Take your false humility elsewhere.

Watt always talks about his humility and how down to earth he is—at least in comparison to other star athletes as massively popular as himself—but PFT put him in his place and won this round.
