JJ Watt’s Ruthless Response to DraftKings Tweet Goes Viral

JJ Watt has made a living by hounding opposing quarterbacks. Turns out, his no-nonsense approach applies to Twitter beefs, too.

Watt traded barbs with the Twitter account for DraftKings, one of the popular sports betting sites, on Wednesday. The feud began when Watt posted a picture of him throwing a ball at practice, which DraftKings quote-tweeted with the caption “Intercepted.” The Cardinals defensive lineman responded with a screenshot of the company’s sinking stock price and a a kicker of a reply:

“You might want to think about intercepting some profits sometime soon,” Watt wrote.

DraftKings’ stock price peaked at over $63 per share last September, but has been on a steady decline ever since.
