Sports Reporter Name Calls & Wishes Injury on Kyler Murray For Choosing The NFL Over MLB (TWEETS)

This is unbelievable.

On Wednesday, sources within the Oakland Athletics organization expected Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray — the team’s first round pick in the 2018 MLB Draft and reigning Heisman Trophy winner — to enter the 2019 NFL Draft.

It was a decision that not many agreed with, given the chances of injury in the NFL and the amount of guaranteed money Murray could receive on a baseball contract as opposed to in the NFL where players rarely see every penny they sign for.

Whether you agree or disagree, it should never go beyond that, but that is exactly what happened when a sports reporter took it way too personal after he made that decision.

Athletics Nation reporter Jen Rainwater took to Twitter and not only name called Murray several times, but wished injury on him, all because he chose the NFL over MLB.

And youre perfect? Since when? I think you are being a little harsh. I also cant stand stand when people hide behind another name but Im not harrassing you about it! So Im not perfect. Unlike seemingly a lot of ppl who think they are, Ive never entertained that notion.

Its true, he did see that but it was the first Id heard of this and I admittedly overreacted but no one is freaking perfect so what can you do?

Well that was uncalled for. Ive said that Id JUST heard the info & that I absolutely overreacted & that the tweets had been taken down as I realized this & admitted that Im certainly not perfect. Im pretty sure that no one is perfect & I remedied the issue as quickly as was poss.
