Gone are the days of trolls going unnoticed. Gone are the days where trolls chirp away, calling celebs nasty names with no repercussions. On Wednesday, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick ushered in a new era, an era where athletes destroy trolls in plain view.
Here’s Kaepernick’s glorious exchange with a man named Stephen Batten:

What did we learn here, kids?
1) Don’t tweet about Colin Kaepernick’s ab routine.
2) Actually, just don’t tweet Colin Kaepernick — period.
3) If you’re willing to sacrifice your dignity for a few Twitter followers, have at it. Stephen Batten now has over 2,000 people following his every word.
4) Twitter is stupid.
