Yep saw that, not the most professional thing I have ever seen but they have a point. I does infer that some of our fans are 'clowns' however, but the good thing with that is the clowns wont know its about them

Came out that Lindley was receiving death threats... do not blame the organization one bit for getting disturbed with the multitude of idiots out there in force

 

[desertdawg]

It was the best tweet ever tweeted by the Cards, I hope someone got a raise

As pissed as I am at 14, I'm even more pissed at the dolts who would threaten his life. That's just flat out uncalled for.

 

[Matt L]

They should show pics of the twitter users/emails that have death threats and repost them so future people will think twice about sending those tweets out...

I heard this morning that they'd told him not to read social media it was so bad.

Good for the Cardinals for standing up for him.

Totally agree! Too many idiots in this world say dumb **** to athletes & regular peeps without even blinking an eye on social media because they are cowards. Kudos to whomever at the Cards did this. It's just a football game & doesn't matter in the grand scheme of life!!!

 

[ARZCardinals]

Cards should do better than that

Focus on the 11-3 season

Calling people clowns isn't how they should operate imo

Fans can lose their cool...the team should stay the course

I didn't see any tweets threatening Lindley...only stuff that he is not a good QB.

 

[GatorAZ]

All this will do is bombard them with a bunch of "u mad" tweets. That is how the internet works these days.

 

[ManinAZ]

Sounds like damage control for a lot of hate on social media they are trying to save Lindley from. For that I don't blame them. I actually kind of like that they are calling these people out for what they are; Clowns.

Fans can lose their cool but cant threaten to kill someone or even threaten to hurt someone. Jist because you didnt see it doesnt mean it didnt happen.

Well played by the Cards.

FWIW, I think JimO runs the Cards twitter feed. It was an unfortuante tweet--really illustrating how out of touch some people in the organization are with how Social Media works today.

Sports Illustrated reported that the Cards are the least-followed NFL team on Twitter. That's a shame.

agree

who cares. it was a great tweet.

 

[conraddobler]

It was classless.

It starts off by complimenting the positive tweets and finishes off by implying negative tweets = from people who live in their parents basement.

Organizations should be above that.

Also I cant help but think they could of used some other reference to avoid the basement reference since they have dwelt there in the standings a few times in my life by my standards at least.

 

[40yearfan]

Great tweet and it does sound like Jim O. Nothing wrong with knocking a few heads when those heads are being jerks.

When Lindley threw that last interception, if I had been a coach on the sidelines, I probably would have slapped him silly in the heat of the moment. After further thought and realizing the terrible circumstances this team was playing under, patience settled in. You do the best you can with what you have. The Cardinals did that. Thanks for a great season.

In that case, they should stay [locked up] in those basements. Geez.

 

[Iceman]

People are ruthless. We as die hard Card fans all hate to lose, but at the end of the day its a game/entertainment (to us fans). Love my Cardinals regardless if they are 0-16 or 19-0. Plus, these are human beings and 95% of them give every effort to succeed. Lindley and Butler are done. Not just in the NFL, but as their everyday life. Hope they can let this go because there are many stories of ex athletes committing suicide because of this crap...

 

[conraddobler]

Tweets are trackable. Death threats would be investigated.

Classless.

 

[D-Dogg]

Classy.
