After triumph, Arthur argues with fan because of his brother
Even with the repeat of the family duel, there was little movement on the Jones brothers' social media after the weekend's NFL round. The only one to speak out was Arthur, who took the opportunity to make fun of the analysts, who pointed to the Denver Broncos as the favorite, and send a message to Chandler.
“Hey, Chandler Jones, see you very soon!”, posted the Defensive end on your profile on Twitter. The message received several responses, most of them supportive, but one in particular took the athlete seriously, as he mentioned the recent problem experienced by his brother Jon Jones.
“Try to keep younger people away from 'nose candy'”, said a profile whose name is simply “BC”, also making a point of addressing the message to the entire trio of brothers – including Jon. The provocation did not please Arthur, who responded immediately. “Grow up, you piece of shit! Haters (people who hate everything) always try to steal our joy”, he published.
