Today in Philly Athletes on Tinder: Jason Akeson
By Kyle Scott
Published:
Not sure how I feel about sort of Flyer Jason Akeson using a sick child to lure women on Tinder*, but using pics with his buddy Claude Giroux is a total power move. It’s like when girls only post group shots with their model-caliber friends in their online dating profiles and conveniently leave out that they’re the one in the background with the lazy eye and braces being forklifted into a holding tank. Going on a first date with one of them is like the modern version of Russian Roulette. At least, that’s what I imagine it would be like.
Anyway, being a professional athlete and using Tinder is fishing with dynamite… in the fish section of a pet store. It should be illegal.
*Though somehow less scummy than (we think married) Wil Nieves using his adorable baby daughter.
