Let me explain.
Five days ago, SMD sent out a Tweet which read: “Miami OC Josh Gattis said he doesn't want Brashard Smith spending as much time on the sideline. Coaches are trying to get the ball in his hands as much as possible.”
Again, that Tweet and that quote are five days old.
After the game last night, Smith re-tweeted the Tweet and put only a period as his response. On Twitter, this typically indicates that the user AGREES with the original tweet. The period acts a proverbial exclamation point on the original statement.
However, in this instance, it was done in a facetious matter.
As we all saw, Smith barely played last night.
So by taking the old quote and adding the period, he was taking a shot at Gattis and essentially saying: “Hey look, you told the media a few days you wanted me to get more involved, but tonight I barely played. How does that make sense?”
The confusion on here arose because it wasn’t clear initially in the way I formatted the exchange that the Gattis quote was five days old.
Some posters thought the Gattis quote was from last night and that Smith’s period was a legitimate agreement and not him making a statement.
Once I clarified the quote was five days old, it became abundantly clear to everyone what was going on.
To further reinforce this, Smith deleted the Tweet after about 20 minutes.
