Mecole Hardman victimized by Twitter hate, teammates come to his defense

If you’re a professional athlete these days, dealing with hate online from trolls is just part of the game. For Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman, it appears that playing elsewhere in 2023 is a real possibility as KC will, almost assuredly, not resign the four-year pro.

Hardman recently replied to a tweet from a Chargers Twitter account which asked if the team should try to sign Hardman even though he’s “injury prone.” Hardman missed most of 2022 with a pelvis injury but had been reliable for the first three years of his career. Hardman took exception to the Tweet.
