James Brown, the host of the NFL Today, is not the most active sports media personality on Twitter, normally sticking to retweets. So it’s more notable when he tweets something unique, especially more notable when said tweet is about… porn.
And naturally, Brown claims he was hacked when his account posted this because everyone is always hacked when they post porn, right?

And the whole tweet for those of you inclined to see it is right here.

Normally, these things go “sorry, my account is hacked”. But JB is so quick to go with the hacking story by saying “obviously” my account was hacked. Obviously, he’s not the first famous person who has had his Twitter account “hacked” when it posted porn or something else dumb, but at least that’s better than doubling down… ahem, Antoine Griezmann.
Don’t expect to see much more from James Brown on Twitter in the times to come, but this does signal the continuation of an internet trend that will probably never die: famous people’s social media accounts posting porn, and then claiming they were hacked. Something you can set your watch to.
