It should come as no surprise when a public figure, such as a professional athlete, expresses anything resembling a controversial opinion on their social media, that post can garner anything ranging from disagreement to outright vitriol. It does, however, come as a surprise when that dissent comes from someone in your professional orbit who is still affiliated with you, your work, and your profession in many ways.
That would be the case for Chris Thompson last night who got into a public back-and-forth spat with Redskins great and current NBC Sports Washington analyst, Brian Mitchell.
