''A lot of Tears'' Wild Forward Had to Delete Instagram Due to Bullying From One Specific Fan Base
Minnesota Wild forward Tyson Jost, who was drafted 10th overall by the Colorado Avalanche in 2016 had a rough summer watching his former club win their first #StanleyCup in 21 years. Jost was traded from the Avalanche to the Minnesota Wild to clear cap space, in exchange for Nico Sturm who did not play a single game for the Avalanche in the playoffs.
Jost stated:
"There were definitely nights where I wasn't sleeping and going through a pretty emotional time .. Mentally, I was already dealing with some stuff and then you see [mean-spirited messages from Avalanche fans saying
'we wouldn't have won the cup if you hadn't been traded' and other vile comments], it made it worse."
"You dream of winning the Cup and then you see your best friends doing that. It was just ... a lot of tears. Just sucked."
It is unfortunate people still cyber bully through social media, and bully in general. Professional athletes deal with a lot as it is, and everybody in the world is going through their own battles.
