In a shocking revelation, former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson has come forward claiming that he refused to enter a game last year because of the cold weather. Yes, you heard that right – Johnson, a professional football player, refused to play because it was too chilly outside.
In an exclusive interview with Satire Sports, Johnson explained his reasoning behind his decision. “I just couldn’t do it, man. The wind was blowing, the snow was falling – it was just too much for me to handle. I mean, I’m a professional athlete, not a polar bear! I have standards, you know?”
When asked about his teammates’ reactions to his refusal to play, Johnson chuckled and said, “Oh, they were not happy, to say the least. They were out there busting their butts in the cold, and here I was, sitting on the sidelines sipping hot cocoa. But hey, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do, right?”
In response to Johnson’s claims, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh issued a statement saying, “I can confirm that Diontae Johnson did indeed refuse to enter the game due to the cold weather. We were surprised by his decision, to say the least. But hey, it’s his loss – he missed out on a thrilling victory that day!”
Fans and analysts alike have been quick to weigh in on Johnson’s controversial decision. One fan tweeted, “I can’t believe Diontae Johnson refused to play because it was cold outside. What a diva!” Meanwhile, sports analyst Bob McBoberson quipped, “I guess Johnson is more of a fair-weather player, huh?”
Despite the backlash, Johnson remains unapologetic about his decision. “Look, I stand by my choice. I have delicate skin, okay? I can’t be out there risking frostbite for a game. Plus, I heard there was a sale on mittens that day – priorities, people!”
As for his future in the NFL, Johnson remains optimistic. “I’m just waiting for a team that plays exclusively in warm climates to come calling. Until then, you won’t catch me anywhere near a football field when the temperature drops below 70 degrees!”
Well, there you have it, folks – Diontae Johnson, the man who put the “fair” in fair-weather player. Stay tuned for more ridiculous antics from the world of sports, only here at Satire Sports!
