Brandon Graham Blocks Anyone Who Tweets About Him
How many clicks does it take to get to the center of Brandon Graham’s block list? Not many, apparently.
In Philly sports, toughness is one of the things the common fan often brings up to either praise someone or tear them down. Like, “Brian Dawkins was the toughest MFer to ever play the game,” or “Marcus Smith couldn’t spell toughness if you spotted him everything but an s.” It’s important. I mean, some of us were thrilled Jahlil knocked a dude out because at least he was being tough.
But on Twitter, where you can reach athletes directly, people sometimes go overboard. That’s why the block button exists. For when shit gets too real and nasty. All fair game for blockage. But, it seems, Brandon Graham is also adept at searching merely for mentions of his name – not handle – and blocking those people, whom he wouldn’t have otherwise known existed if he wasn’t so damn sensitive.
According to many, many Twitter users who reached out to Jon Marks, Graham has been doing this for some time. At least that’s the prevailing theory:

@jonmarks975 Same here. I'm guessing anyone who has made a negative comment with the tag #Eagles is blocked. 🙈

@jonmarks975 @jelynchjr @TheMightyEROCK Yes. Don't compare every little thing he does to Earl Thomas. He doesn't like that.

And Graham himself is getting into it now:
There are even more people completely flabbergasted that Brandon Graham has blocked them here. Am I blocked by Brandon Graham? Not yet, but this post should probably do it. If not, I just tweeted “Brandon Graham sucks” and have started a countdown.
