His actions cost his team the game against the Rams, as he was fined for throwing the ball at Finnegan, and he’s now receiving death threats via Twitter from angry Redskins fans.
Here is a sample of some of the tweets Morgan was receiving.
“JOSH MORGAN I WILL KILL YOU IN YOUR (expletive) SLEEP”
“You & the crack epidemic are the two worst things that’s happened to DC”
When asked about what he thought about it, Morgan didn’t seem that phased by it.
“I heard everything,” Morgan told USA Today. “Especially when they’re on Twitter sending death threats and wishing bad on your family and your first-born and things like that. They treated me like they did (49ers kick returner) Kyle Williams last year. It’s all over my Twitter. It kept me motivated, kept me focused.”
Was Morgan afraid?
“Nothing really scares me,” he said. “I’m from D.C.”
Point taken. A lot of people have keyboard courage, but would never say things like this in person, so Morgan is doing the right thing by just shaking it off.
