Image via Complex Original

Twitter is the most fun when a fail happens. Athletes and fans alike are prone to use the social network the wrong way. Fans think they're getting under a player's skin, when they're really embarrassing themselves and their family names. Athletes tend to tweet things without thinking of the consequences, like Jabar Gaffney or Metta World Peace. Then there's folks like Jose Canseco who really don't give a fuck how they're perceived and fail without shame.

We have some real doozies in here. Be warned some are offensive, but most will just make you shake your head in astonishment. Peep the Biggest Sports Twitter Fails of April.

Complex Says: What are the New York Jets trying to do with this? That's just weird and creepy. Woody Johnson is an attention whore.

(@BrandonSpikes55), 4/15/12

Complex Says: We love us some Rih Rih. In fact, we love her a lot. That being said, it's never a good idea to drink and tweet. Didn't he learn from Matt Barnes?

Complex Says: Yeah because all Nike athletes always stay healthy. What's the name of that big fella who used to, er, we mean, never really played for the Trailblazers?

Complex Says: That's a grown man who plays collegiate football for the Georgia Bulldogs.

Complex Says: Both fail equally. The fan for taking it there and Gary for taking it there. We'll be happy with making six figures to warm the bench, though. So, fail goes to the fan.

Complex Says: We never understood why a fan would try to trash a player on Twitter, as if it accomplishes anything. Well it does, actually. It proves that you're a fool.

Complex Says: This fail goes out to this fake Luke Babbitt account. He tried to troll and got hit with the ol' dick in yo' mouth trick. Tony Allen has the best comebacks.

(@JoseCanseco), 4/9/12

Complex Says: You have to admire the man's persistence. He's all that's right and wrong with the game all at once. Jose has to realize that he will forever be banned from baseball. He should really try and make that radio show with Pete Rose happen. Pure comedy.

(@MettaWorldPeace), 4/9/12

Complex Says: Shaq ,How can u comment on elbows.. What about the punch you threw at brad miller. And the elbows at dikembe and the prizbilla concussion? "Can magic johnson,jon barry and steven A compare my accidental elbow to the Luis scola face step and the Blake griff take down..?"

Metta deleted those tweets and left us this blog post instead. You know, to clear things up.

Complex Says: Talk about inside information. This story almost broke Twitter when it happened. Was pressing charges necessary? She's kind of hot, possibly crazy, but still hot.

(@DeionSanders), 4/23/12

Complex Says: SMH. The pic of the police report pow-wow was OD. He knows it because he deleted it. The Internet is forever.

(@JoseCanseco), 4/26/12

Complex Says: Jose has a way with the ladies. Just ask his ex-gal, Leila. Not only does she like to smoke pot, but she also likes to blow spots.

(@JabarGaffney), 4/12/12

Complex Says: Jabar's Twitter was "allegedly" hacked. His account has since been deleted. Never air dirty laundry on social networks.

(@ReggWilliams88), 4/21/12

Complex Says: Former Minnesota Twins prospect, Reggie Williams got into a debate about gay people on Twitter. This is never a good idea. Say bye-bye to your career, unless your the second coming of Mickey Mantle. Check what else he had to say.

Complex Says: When Caps Winger Joel Ward scored the game-winning goal in OT in Game 7 vs. Boston, some Bruins fans showed how classless they are. They couldn't believe they lost at the hands of an African-Canadian and proceeded to call him the N-word all over Twitter. Check Black Sports Online for the rest of the tweets.
