J.J. Watt Got Into A Twitter Fight With ‘Salty’ Mike Florio Over Something Extremely Silly

Do you like dumb Twitter beefs? Well then, boy, do we have a real doozy for you this week.

Considering how active he is on social media and how much the media loves to gush over him, it’s pretty difficult to avoid J.J. Watt these days. He doesn’t need much of an excuse to slide into your timeline, so it wasn’t all that surprising when he posted this photo in support of the United States national team as they prepared to take on Argentina in the Copa America semifinals Tuesday night.

It’s a little awkward and possibly worthy of considering a humblebrag, but it’s a pretty innocent tweet nonetheless. (That’s coming from someone who has been very over the Watt lovefest for quite some time now.)

But the post got Pro Football Talk‘s Mike Florio pretty angry for some reason, apparently because he felt Watt made it all about himself. It was pretty clear that he was mad online.

This petty little jab didn’t sit well with Watt, who replied with some advice.

Florio didn’t love the advice.

And there you have it, folks. That’s (hopefully) the dumbest, most pointless sports Twitter beef we’ll see all year. Good luck to all of those forced to pick a side between Watt and Florio.
