Michael Sam tweets ‘Star Wars’ spoiler, infuriates fans
It seems that there are two camps of people who decided to see “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
There were those who were going to see it ASAP and others who would wait for the crowds to thin a bit and hope that no one would go to social media with spoilers.
Former Missouri football star Michael Sam saw the movie and did the unthinkable: He tweeted a spoiler.
Sam, who is on the suspended list for the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League, deleted the tweet and added:
— Michael Sam (@MichaelSamNFL) December 18, 2015That wasn’t good enough for many Star Wars fans, who came down on Sam like the Wampa that attacked Luke Skywalker. These are the ones that don’t contain the worst language:
if you want to see Star Wars #TheForceAwakens awakens spoiler free, DO NOT LOOK AT WHY MICHAEL SAM IS TRENDING....
