Jozy Altidore calls out ESPN’s Taylor Twellman: ‘He a white boy with connects’

TORONTO, Canada—Jozy Altidore is not holding back his feelings about ESPN broadcaster and former US International Taylor Twellman.

After comments from Twellman about the U.S. men’s U23 national team, where he called their Olympic Qualifying campaign ‘pathetic and laughable,’ sparked some outcry over social media, Altidore decided he would chime in on the coversation... and did he ever.

“Taylor Twellman national team was laughable,” tweeted Altidore. “Beasley should be an analyst or a Mia Hamm. Twellman need to be on extra time radio with Bobby Warshaw. He a white boy with connects. Stop giving him a platform.
