Seahawks WR Golden Tate took a shot at NASCAR when he went on Twitter and said that you don’t need to be an athlete to drive a car in circles.
Some quotes from Tate:
Tate: "Jimmy johnson up for best athlete???? Um nooo .. Driving a car does not show athleticism.”
“I'm not arguing that the sport isn't hard... If it was easy everyone would do it , I'm Just saying he is not the most athletic."
"Give me 6 months of training amd I could compete"
"it's overrated and apparently I'm a idiot according to car driving fans"
"12th man get these rednecks off me."
"I don't look down on anyone, I think it's hilarious that bc I have a opinion I get called all these names and judge."
“Apologies for my offensive comment to NASCAR fans. I actually read up on it and NO I couldn’t race a car 150 mph”
“I will say my respect for NASCAR has gone up tremendously yalls fans r hard nose and passionate #respect!”
"so if that's the case why wouldn't u just try to educate me versus attack me and call me idiots and etc??"
When are athletes going to learn that twitter is not their friend?
