Zach Wilson refused to take selfie with creepy fan at Islanders game

[Rhg1084]

This guy has started a bit of a firestorm on Twitter. Most are calling him a loser who’s a grown ass man hounding a 21 year old kid for a picture. Some were agreeing with him tho. What’s the consensus here, who’s in the wrong? Zach for refusing the pic. Or this guy who’s throwing a temper tantrum cause Wilson told him eff off

9 comments, 5 RTs, and 2 likes is a “firestorm?”

It’s all over Jets Twitter right now lol

I don't care. Be a huge prick, but just win.

Maybe the guy is creepy and has BO.

Oh well. Non story here. 

That dude was probably just an autographer looking to make a quick $ off the kid Zach Wilson on E-Bay or something. Zach told the man 'No', and in return; this guy got mad for not making any profit off the kid.  Etc. 

"Everyone says you're real - until you tell them, No".

Maybe the guy is a professional autograph seeker, which he is, then sells them, which he does.

What a great teacher. Glad he’s showing his students how important it is to throw a monster hissy fit if you don’t get what you want.

Maybe Zach has been instructed to not take selfie’s with random fans due to the whole global pandemic/social distancing thing? Or maybe he just didn’t want to. Either way, be an adult...

This douche is definitely in the wrong. 

A ) You're a grown ass man wanting a selfie.

B ) You're a grown ass man wanting a selfie with a 21yo boy for "clout". 

C ) You're a grown ass man complaining on Twitter about not getting said selfie. 

This man is whatever the male version of a Karen is, a Ken? He is the guy that spends $200 dollars at Lowes yearly and then complains to management that he is taking his money elsewhere when they are out of his favorite brand of paint thinner.

Reality. He is being the squeaky wheel because he knows he will probably get some grease. $100 bucks says he just wants something from the Jets and they will give it to him to shut him up.

Ok

[joewilly12]

Maybe Zach Wilson thought this guy was @T0mShane

Lock this thread now lol. 

[HawkeyeJet]

Damn if you do damned if you don't anymore from the players standpoint.  I'd say adults hounding a player for a picture like that are problem enough, let alone complaining about it on Twitter. 

Also, and this is so stupid but it bothers me, "NO!" Insinuates he shouted back at you emphatically.  I would bet my bottom dollar that was not the case.

[Beerfish]

I'm constantly getting asked by people to let them take selfies with me and let me tell you it gets tiring.

[HawkeyeJet]

This dude has some issues. Don't amplify people like this.

I knew Zach was a Rangers fan.  

Awesome job, kid.

A grown-ass man hounding a kid for an autograph, then posting about it on Twitter.....

His pinned tweet is begging Mike Trout for an autograph.  The only interactions on it are him “quote tweeting” himself to beg Trout even further.  There are countless other tweets of him begging others for autographs.  Lastly, someone asked for proof of him even attending the game and he refuses to give it.  

Now he’s deleting his tweets:

 

The photos Zach’s tagged in on Instagram show that he usually takes any photo asked of him so I am going to go out on a limb and say that this guy is bullsh*tting somewhere in his story.

[Mogglez]

 

Zach isn’t one to shy away from a quick picture or an autograph.  Something tells me this conversation didn’t go the way this dude is claiming it did.

[Mike135]

I ****in hate social media. 

[jetsrule128]

Was it this person ?

this is a case of " how much will  you give me to not make a big stink"

[RutgersJetFan]

Wasn’t this a scene in Gone Girl?

[#90]

Non story.

Creep trying to make a name for himself.

By the way, Kudos to Zac for going to the game with 11 other Jets and trying to start to develop a bond amongst the team .....especially with all those O-lineman.

When asked about the Rangers, one reporter noted that he heard Zach mutter "Potvin Sucks" under his breath so Isles fans didn't hear it..

[Mike135]

You know that philosophical question of if you could travel back in time and be next to baby Hilter...  what would you do?

At this point the same question should be applied to the creators of FB n Twitter.

[jetscrazey]

Are people really knocking a guy for not taking selfies in a pandemic?  These vaccines are not foolproof.  95% means 1 out 20 times it won’t work. 

[Russh29]

“Only person around”...I’m calling BS...

[Jackie Treehorn]

Maybe Zach had some bad enchilada and was on his way to the can.

Maybe he doesn’t care about all fans at all times like every other guy would do in his spot. 

Either way: the only thing that counts is the numbers he put up and the success of the team. 

[Bronx]

What more evidence do you need?

 

[doitny]

i love when he says he will remember this when they ask him to buy tickets.

i hope he does and cancels them.

does this idiot think the Jets care if he doesn't want to buy tickets anymore. there has to be thousands waiting on the season ticket list. 

please dont buy anymore tickets. there are plenty of us who will gladly buy them instead.

guy probably doesnt even have any
