"Troll" Repeatedly Taunts Football Player About His Two Day Old Son's Death
85 replies, posted
[quote]A cruel Twitter troll has taunted Southampton FC player Billy Sharp over the tragic death of his two-day-old son.The tweeter, who implies he is a fan of Sharp's former club Doncaster Rovers with his username 'ChrisDRFCBoyd', sent vile tweets in the tone of a match-stand chant over the social networking site. The expletive-ridden Tweets included: billy where's your son billy; billy where's your son', and 'Luey Jacob Sharp DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD. Striker Sharp and his wife Jade were left devastated by the death of two-day-old Luey from gastroschisis last October, and have since set up a foundation in their child's name. The Doncaster fan posted his sick remarks as he was angry the forward left the Yorkshire club for Southampton in January on a three-and-a-half year deal worth £1.8m. He tweeted: 'Should have stayed with us until the end of the season you prick fucking glad your son died and hope you get your legs broken.'
The distressed striker replied to @ChrisDRFCBoyd by saying: 'shallow little boy hope ur proud of urself.' @ChrisDRFCBoyd's account was then removed from Twitter. The incident highlights just how easy it is for the public to contact those in the public eye, and how the ease with which the mask of anonymity can allow people to give callous feedback. Just days after Luey's death, the distraught father returned to play for his club and paid tribute by lifting his shirt to reveal 'That’s for you, son' after scoring his team’s only goal against Middlesborough. The action of revealing a message on a T-shirt is usually punishable by a yellow card but Sharp was not booked by referee Darren Deadman, who was applauded by the crowd. However Sharp was allegedly subjected to abuse about his late son just weeks later when Doncaster beat Barnsley 2-0 in December.[/quote]

I put troll in quotation marks because, although all news sources are using it, I don't believe it's the correct use of the word. This is just plain revolting. Trolling is, for example, the people that have rated this either funny or winner.
That's not trolling, that's being a cunt.
What a fucking prick.
what a fucking waste of space
Somebodies no doubt going to find this guy, And it won't be very fun for him when they do. Shame this is just going further peoples fear of the internet.
Where is my skill saw.
Twat.
What a fucking dick. People like this deserve to get their asses kicked.

Rule 1 of trolling (or being a general dick on the internet): [B]USE AN ALIAS, NOT YOUR REAL NAME.[/B]
That child disgraces the world.

I hate using the word "troll" now. Everyone misuses it. It was great when trolling meant in a video game and that's it. Now everyone takes it everywhere because they're "/b/ tards" or whatever. Going to 4 chan is something to brag about it seems nowadays.
i hope that guys gets anal raped...wait,no.... he would like it.

"Trolling" was never exclusive to just video games you massive numpty. If anything video game trolling is very recent compared to what trolling used to be.

Wow, his reasoning for taunting a man over the death of his son is because he changed teams?
How can people like this exist, it's a game for fuck sake HOW CAN YOU TAKE IT SO SERIOUSLY THAT YOU FEEL THE NEED TO TAUNT A GRIEVING MAN?
Fuck the world.

There's maybe 1 or 2 cases where I've seen somebody be this cruel, excluding murders/rapes and the such. Whoever this kid is... he needs to be taught a lesson. Make it hurt too, please.
