The Seahawks decided to have some fun on Twitter, but it didn’t go over too well
After it was reported that Seattle sent Wilson to Denver in a massive trade, thefeaturing the main character’s best friend, Wilson, who is a volleyball. Teams are not allowed to say anything officially about the trade until March 16, hence the non-direct reference.
The Seahawks decided to join in on the Twitter fun and Tweeted their own non-direct reference to the trade—the heartbreaking moment when the main character, played by Tom Hanks, lost Wilson to the sea. Getting cute with the news that you just dealt your Super Bowl-winning star quarterback to another team probably isn’t the best move. Fans didn’t care for the tweet and didn’t hold back in the mentions or quote tweets.
