As you should know by now Hurricane Joaquin is about to hit the EAST COAST and with any major hurricane the possibility of property damage, injuries, lost homes, lost businesses and lost of life is a very real possibility.
Which is why this Tweet many believed was in poor taste.
Twitter was not happy about the Tweet and the Schefter RT.
@HuffPostSports @AdamSchefter yea not laughing.

Sometimes in the effort to be creative, we don’t think about how those words can affect people. I am sure this was not funny to anyone who has been in a natural disaster or have to deal with the upcoming hurricane.
