Manchester United's Darron Gibson Quits Twitter After Getting Ethered By Fans

He lasted just two hours before pulling the plug on his new account.

In theory, Twitter is supposed to help athletes stay connected with fans. However, shortly after Manchester United player Darron Gibson signed up for the social networking site earlier today, he got a rude awakening: Soccer fans hate him! Okay, not all of them (a few started a #getgibboback hashtag later) but enough Man U fans talked shit to Gibson to force him to shut down his @dgibbo28 account for good. Uhhh...dueces?

@dgibbo28 you are a abysmal excuse for a footballer. You're a one trick pony - a shit one at that. What Fergie sees in you I don't know...less than a minute ago via Twitter for Android Favorite Retweet ReplyJames Kidd
