C.J. Gardner-Johnson's Bold Comments About Eagles Fans Going Viral
Detroit Lions defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson has not shied away from sharing his true feelings, especially when he is in a comfortable environment.
While live streaming playing video games Wednesday, Detroit's new hybrid defensive back was asked by a viewer, who paid five dollars to have his question answered, what his favorite and least favorite part about Philadelphia was.
The outspoken defensive back did not mince any words.
When sharing what he disliked about Philadelphia, the former Eagles safety had a response that is surely going to upside fans of the defending NFC North champions and the entire state of Pennsylvania.
"My least favorite thing --- is the people," Gardner-Johnson expressed on his stream. "They’re f**king obnoxious, I f*****g can’t stand the f******.”
According to Eagles Today, "Eagles fans are known for being very passionate, for lack of a better word, which has drawn some strong reactions across the NFL. Look no further than the San Francisco 49ers' string of complaints after their NFC Championship Game loss in January for such reactions. However, it's rare for those reactions to come from current or former Eagles themselves."
The Eagles should have made Gardner-Johnson a priority heading into free agency.
The 25-year-old was coming off a season in which he secured six interceptions, tying for the league lead.
Unfortunately, the two sides could not come to terms on a long-term NFL contract extension.
After signing with Detroit, fans of the Eagles took to social media to share unflattering comments about the talented safety online, likely sparking the not so pleasant current opinion of Eagles' fans.
