ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski Fired Back At Press Release From Republican Senator With A Simple “F–k You” (TWEET)

Josh Hawley, a Republican senator from Missouri, took to Twitter Friday to complain about a blunt and vulgar response he got to a press release he sent to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Hawley tweeted a letter to NBA commissioner Adam Silver Friday questioning the NBA’s approved social justice messages for player jerseys and saying that pro-military and pro-police slogans like “Support our troops” and “Back the blue,” plus “Free Hong Kong,” should have been included.

If @NBA is going to put social cause statements on uniforms, why not “Support our Troops” or “Back the Blue”? Or given how much $$ @nba makes in #China, how about “Free Hong Kong”! Today I wrote to Adam Silver to ask for answers pic.twitter.com/PthYR4OxmE

Hawley also apparently blasted this out in a press release that was sent to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Woj saw it and fired back at him with a “Fuck you,” which Hawley then took to Twitter to complain about:

Don’t criticize #China or express support for law enforcement to @espn. It makes them real mad ⁦@Outkick⁩ pic.twitter.com/WJDxrotUBD

Ben Strauss of The Washington Post added that ESPN was looking into it:

I asked ESPN about the Woj/Hawley email. Spokesman said it appears to be real and ESPN is looking into it.
