LeSean McCoy could have used Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet about this time last year to snap away what became 2019’s most polarizing tweet.
Appearing Wednesday on “Good Morning Football,” the 31-year-old running back said posting Iron Man’s fate in “Avengers: Endgame” was “the worst decision of [his] life.”
“I didn’t know the reaction of the people, I didn’t know that. If I knew that, I would have never tweeted that,” said McCoy, who is now a free agent after finishing last season with the Super Bowl champion Chiefs.
After checking out the highly anticipated Marvel flick last spring, McCoy tweeted “RIP” to the beloved character, igniting a firestorm of backlash from the keyboard warriors.
“I didn’t know that people really got into them cartoons like that,” McCoy said. “I apologize. It was terrible.”
The film pulled in a record $2.8 billion at the box office.
Prior to the film’s release, directors Joe and Anthony Russo wrote a letter to fans with one message: “#DontSpoilTheEndgame.”
Oops.
