Do we need to go over this again?
Jimmy Conrad, a member of the U.S. men’s soccer team, made news in Mexico from his Twitter account. Funny at time. Not so much today.
From the Kansas City Star:
Conrad, though, made news in Mexico with his Twitter account of being on the same plane last week as the Mexican team.
“I hope the Mexico coach doesn’t kick me while I walk past him in the aisle,” Conrad wrote before his Twitter account mysteriously disappeared. Conrad was poking fun at first-year coach Javier Aguirre, who served a three-game suspension for kicking a Panama player.
“It was definitely a joke,” Conrad told Televisa Deportes on Saturday. “It’s been blown way out of proportion. I, myself, have a lot of respect for their coach and their team as do all of our guys.”
Bet he got a good chuckle with the line. He probably was not chuckling around 5 p.m. Sunday after the U.S. got kicked around by Mexico.
Needless to see, this got a big response in Mexico. Screencap from Diario de Yucatan
