NFL star tweets North Korea should bomb New England

<snip>
My emotions, on the other hand, have been moved by the fact that an NFL star is encouraging Kim Jong-un's missiles to be targeted at New England.

There is no known additional antipathy on behalf of North Korea's "Supreme Leader" toward America's East Coast. However, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson feels sure that our nation would be well-served if he bombed America's Patriots.

How do I know? Because he tweeted it. His precise words were: "War is nothing to be played with. I apologize North Korea........but if y'all do bomb 1st... Bomb Foxboro, Mass. Sincerely,#BillsMafia."
<snip>

He followed this with: "PatsFans i lo...like yall also. ask any1 in my fam. ive said TheBoro is my fav place to play-bkuz you Pats fans are Live! BUT not for long..."

And probably endeared him to the fan base.

My guess is that this will be ridiculously blown out of proportion with humorless people calling for suspensions or worse.

They got rid of it a few weeks ago at the owners meeting. The only team that voted to keep it was the Steelers.
