It all started with a report saying that the Detroit Lions would take on the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving for the second straight season. Bears writer Aaron Leming responded with a frustrated “Again?” on Twitter, apparently not thrilled with the redundant matchup.
That’s when Chicago Bears wide receiver made this much bigger news. Responding to Fleming, Gabriel tweeted “Easy W don’t worry” in a now-deleted tweet.
The slight was picked up by several news sources—including our expertly-written version here—and the news spread that Gabriel was dissing the Lions.
Unsurprisingly, word got around to Lions players, and they were not happy.
