NFL analyst Chris Simms is getting blasted on Twitter by Dolphins fans (and others) and rightfully so.
Earlier this week, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa donated $10,000 to the family of a late Dolphins fan named Eric Carmona. He is known for being the creator of the “We Are TuAnon” Twitter account that supported the Dolphins signal-caller.
When discussing Carmona’s death on NBC’s Pro Football Talk Live,” Simms couldn’t help but bring up his personal issues with the “TuAnon” fanbase.
“Obviously, it’s a horrible thing,” Simms said. “He was obviously a huge Tua fan. He was also a huge guy that trolled me on Twitter.”
Simms’ co-host, Mike Florio, did his best to stop Simms from digging himself down a deeper hole. However, that didn’t help as Simms went on to let his personal bias get in the way what should’ve been a delicate conversation.
“This is a deep subject and I think it’s societal and I won’t go into it because I’ll only get myself in trouble,” Simms added. “We’re setting an example of, ‘Hey, here’s money to a guy who was very negative too.’ That’s all I’m saying.”
Here’s the full clip:
Not a good look for Simms, who I’m sure will be forced to apology at some point but the damage has been done. At least amongst Dolphins fans.
