“I will quit Basketball, because of my bf, and yes i’m gay.” That’s what was tweeted from former BYU and current Chinese Basketball Association star Jimmer Fredette’s Twitter account Sunday morning.
It was pretty immediately clear that Jimmer’s account had been hacked. The first tweet in the series of four sent out said, “I’m sorry fans, i have a bad news :(“
We don’t have to point out the glaring grammatical error right? “A bad news?” While Jimmer isn’t known as the most exciting Tweeter, his grammar is usually pretty solid.
After the aforementioned tweets, two more were sent out saying the account had “not been hacked,” and Jimmer would “talk about that in video soon.
