Not only is football season right around the corner, but it’s also time for viral reports to come from training camps about how certain players are doing on the field.
If you’re not careful, you’ll find yourself being caught up reacting to a report that isn’t true.
The latest rumor, which is clearly based on fiction, comes from a NY Giants Insider named Wesley Steinberg who is reporting from camp. Unfortunately for fans, he is not actually an insider or there at the camp.
However, the person who runs the account reported that Daniel Jones threw an errant pass at camp and hit a disabled kid in the crowd. It didn’t actually happen, but it did not stop the report from going viral.
“Eye-witness reports from camp today tell me QB Daniel Jones accidentally hit a disabled fan with a misplaced pass.”
