Late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s contest at MetLife Stadium, Cole Beasley’s muffed punt cost the Dallas Cowboys a chance a game-tying drive against the New York Giants. The mistake effectively handed the G-Men a big divisional win, and Cowboys fans were understandably upset.
Not surprisingly, a lot of those fans vented and took out their frustrations on Twitter, some even tweeting directly at Beasley to criticize him for the costly play. At first, Beasley took the high road, apologizing to fans for letting them — and his team — down.
I apologize to all the fans. I must be better. Thanks for all the support from the true fans. You know who you are. #cowboysnation

But a woman who claims to be Beasley’s wife (and signs certainly point to that being true) took a far more aggressive (and vulgar) approach to responding to the criticism of her husband. Her counter-punches are NFSW, as this one has quite the potty mouth on her.
Yeah, not such a great look. And, not surprisingly, she deleted her entire Twitter account shortly afterwards.
But Beasley, who was only looking bad by association, has had some history with Twitter battles as well.
Dealing with online critics as a professional athlete has to be difficult, especially after making a mistake that leaves you feeling really low. Sometimes the trolls can’t resist kicking a man while he’s down, but it’s on Beasley (and his wife) to be better than stooping to their level.
