At least 10,000 NFL fans may regret following Bills safety Donte Whitner on Twitter.
On Jan. 23, Whitner indicated via Twitter that he would give away two Super Bowl tickets to one lucky NFL fan once he reached 10,000 followers, ProFootballTalk.com reports. However, once 10,000 people were following his tweets, the Bills safety called an audible.
Whitner reportedly changed the rules of the raffle, telling his Twitter followers he would give away two Super Bowl tickets to the fan who correctly predicted the score to both NFL conference championship games, a tough task even for someone like Miss Cleo. The conference championship games were played the following day, and no one guessed the correct score, meaning Whitner won’t be giving away the tickets.
The former first-round pick has not spoken publicly about the giveaway, choosing to issue responses via Twitter. Many fans have responded by unfollowing Whitner on the popular social networking Web site.
Whitner tweeted a response to his fans’ outrage: @JasonWPhillips well jus unfollow me its not that hard to do.
Who needs Twitter followers when you play for a franchise that has never won an NFL championship?
