Twitter folks are roasting Emmanuel Acho for insinuating that Calvin Ridley, who has been suspended for the entire 2022-23 season for illegally gambling on NFL games, was “throwing games.” I checked on Emmanuel Acho’s Twitter handle, and he’s deleted the tweets.
Awesemo has more on Twitter blasting Emmanuel Acho for his Calvin Ridley “throwing games” tweet.
Earlier today, it was reported that star receiver Calvin Ridley will be suspended for the entire 2022-23 season for illegally gambling on NFL games.
Shortly after the news went viral, all the Calvin Ridley hot takes were plastered all over the internet. But perhaps the most ridiculous one was the insinuation that Ridley was somehow throwing games when he was playing.
To add to some of the nonsense, FS1’s Emmanuel Acho tweeted that while it wasn’t his personal belief that Ridley was “throwing games”, some of the old clips of him avoiding contact are “damning”.
Calvin Ridley quickly admitted to betting on games, but maintained that he only bet $1,500 during a short span during last season.
One of Emmanuel Acho’s deleted tweets reads:
“I don’t think Calvin Ridley was throwing games while on the field at all, but this video is VERY damning”.
Acho has been prone to horrible takes and saying a lot of words that don’t mean anything. Even though he deleted the Tweet, nothing is truly deleted on social media. It was a wild accusation to make in the first place, and to be honest. The video is not that damning at all. You could make a similar video about Tyreek Hill and many other receivers if you went through all their highlights.
Every media person says they hate Skip Bayless, but so many of them generally try to emulate his hot take style with little success. Acho is just the latest.
