FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda National Football League wide receiver Jabar Gaffney offered a lesson in how not to use Twitter — by posting a train wreck-like series of tweets that had his name trending worldwide Thursday afternoon.
Gaffney posted an expletive-laden stream of messages to do with his wife, following another recent profane tweet about his cousin and fellow NFL player Lito Sheppard.

In the middle of the string of tweets, Gaffney did take the time to clarify that the two dust-ups are not related.
Here, edited for language is the tweet that started Gaffney’s Thursday afternoon rant: “4-12 is my anniversary woke up and couldn’t find my soon 2 be ex wife anywhere. F___ dat b____ I can’t wait till its final in a few weeks”

The post fueled speculation that Sheppard, who Gaffney blasted in this tweet from a few days ago, had relations with his wife on the couple’s anniversary. But Gaffney responded to that speculation with this profane tweet, again edited for language:
“Ain’t nobody f____d my wife but for anybody saying any slick s___ better watch ur girl and not let me get hold to her”
Later, Gaffney summarized the situation thus:
“Last tweet: b____ ain’t grateful no matter what u do for em. Homeboys will change on u. I keeps it 100 don’t read into that’s all it is.”
He capped off the rant, with another “final” tweet and invitation for future discourse:
I’m done tweetin all u smart asses i be in da 904, 407 703 tell me what u think if and when u c me

This isn’t the first time Gaffney has tweeted recklessly. In November he used Twitter to tell a fan to “kill urself.”

Cappie Pondexter
After a tsunami devastated Japan this March, Cappie Pondexter of the WNBA’s New York Liberty tweeted, “What if God was tired of the way they treated their own people in there own country! Idk guys he makes no mistakes.” Later she continued hypothesizing with this tweet: “u just never knw! They did pearl harbor so you can’t expect anything less.” Predictably, Pondexter’s tweets sparked a strong backlash, and she eventually took to Twitter again, this time to apologize (left).
