Carson Wentz injured: Former NFL star, ESPN analyst share unclassy moment
You won’t believe this one. Or maybe you will. A former NFL star and an ESPN analyst share an unclassy moment on social media following Carson Wentz’s injury.
At this point, it’s hard to imagine why anyone would continue to have respect for ESPN’s Josina Anderson. You remember her, don’t you? She’s the one that broke the news containing the derogatory comments about Carson Wentz from the anonymous source in the Philadelphia Eagles locker room. On Sunday, she and a former NFL star shared a very unclassy moment on Twitter during the final game of the Wild Card Weekend.
This one is hard to swallow.
Take a look at the tweet by former NFL star Torry Holt and the subsequent retweet by you know who.
I hear you Torry... https://t.co/3MnWx94bsL

It’s sad that he would even type that. It’s even more disconcerting that Anderson would retweet such nonsense. We’re talking about a head injury! Following a blatant personal foul by Jadeveon Clowney on Carson Wentz that wasn’t called, Wentz headed to the locker room with just minutes to play in the first quarter.
After halftime, ’11’ was downgraded from ‘questionable’ to ‘out’. As you know, questions about Wentz’s durability have been a longtime narrative. Has he had his share of injuries? Of course, he has. Should we all be past those narratives and the theories that surround them? Absolutely.
’11’ has done more than enough to prove his mettle in 2019.
No one can gameplan for injuries. They’re awful when they happen, but this isn’t an injury to a bone or to a muscle. This can’t be classified in the same vein of anything that we’ve seen from ’11’. Injuries to the brain are of a different type of seriousness and should be met with both compassion and seriousness.
Next. Officials miss blatant foul, on Carson Wentz, reactions. dark
The fact that Torry Holt didn’t think about that before tweeting this is both unfortunate and inexcusable. Anderson’s decision to further Holt’s comments are even more inexcusable. There are upsides to social media, it allows us to connect with friends and family. There are also downsides. Moments like these qualify as the latter.
