Big Stink about Some Ink

It looks like the infamous “Mr. Football” is at it again.  Yup…..he’s being vilified by Aggies, media and everyone with a twitter account for being a 20-year-old male college student. …heartbreaking.

  

 For those that don’t have a TMZ app…or don’t think Harvey Levin is actually a lawyer…I’ll catch you up.

He's always watching....

 Johnny Manziel (First Freshman to win the Heisman Trophy) (Texas A&M QB) (hopefully the last two jogged your memory)…is on spring break…like his fellow Aggie classmates for the week…

 But, when he posts a picture at a club or a shirtless shot on a beach in Mexico…. it’s newsworthy all the way in College Station.

Tattoo on HIS left side...Hookem!

 Take Tuesday…when Aggieland learned their beloved Mercedes Benz driving, online trick shot, QB sensation Manziel has a tattoo…a few actually…but one of a Texas Longhorn on his side…but not really…maybe… (he has said he wanted to go to Texas when he was growing up) (Not a crime anywhere but College Station…)

Johnny posted this pic….where you can clearly see the tattoo…And once the twittersphere got word of it…things got interesting….as they usually do.

Aggies saying he’s a traitor and much worse…..

After taking the picture down…Manziel made sure he addressed the questions… ..

#HATERSGONNAHATE

First it was photoshopped…now it’s a “fake”, meaning a henna tattoo…

While older pictures suggest otherwise…

Older picture...same tattoo...

 Teammates are now being asked if he has the tattoo since they change together.  Past girlfriends are being called (Not a Manti Te’o problem)…

Poor Manti....

   Meanwhile his mom says she didn’t know he had tattoo’s and his dad saying it is a fake…All because Johnny posted a picture on his Instagram…Sure you can blame the media, ”crazy Aggies”, or “people with no lives.” But, the issue at the center of it all is ACCOUNTABILITY.

  And not just for Johnny.  As a Heisman Trophy Winner and the star QB at A&M …whether he realizes it or not…he is newsworthy.  Plenty of PROFESSIONAL athletes take much worse insults on their twitter accounts and IGNORE them.  I’m sure a glance at the @ mentions for @kingjames  isn’t pretty…But LeBron stays above it. Because if he doesn’t, he knows he will be held accountable for what he tweets… #gofigure

  Any person…male, female, college student or parent (get off social media…for your kid’s sake) must realize…just because it takes a split second to post a picture, write a status, or send a tweet…erasing it from the Internet or people’s memory…like  Johnny Manziel’s first season in the SEC…absolutely unheard of.
