Following a remarkable 4th quarter comeback win against the Broncos in their preseason opener, the Arizona Cardinals’ social media team swiftly took the opportunity to “playfully” taunt QB Russell Wilson.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!While the trend of “mocking” or “trolling” opposing teams on official team accounts has gained significant popularity over the past few years, there continues to be considerable controversy each season due to the absence of a clearly defined boundary for what is considered “too far.”
The tweet in question from the Cardinals social team on Friday featured a remake of the viral ‘not real’ airplane video.
In the video posted by the Cardinals, Broncos QB Russell Wilson was doing stretches down the isle in the airplane.
Safe to say the Arizona Cardinals TikTok page takes the cake home for today🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/gBHsL3VmhN

The video was swiftly removed, yet critiques of the tweet spread rapidly and extensively.
For example, former Chiefs tackle Mitchell Schwartz was definitely not a fan
Congrats on your 4th quarter comeback and 1 point victory with 3rd stringers in preseason game 1. Totally warrants flaming the opposing team’s QB when you were down 10-0 at the half to him. This is pathetic. You know you won’t have many chances this season so fire em off now huh? https://t.co/WFwifuMrIm

Do you think the Cardinals went too far with this video?
