Player that accidentally struck Adam Johnson in the neck is facing major backlash on social media
After the tragic passing of Adam Johnson, the player who hit him with his skate, Matt Petgrave, is facing a lot of backlash on social media.
Petgrave Forced to Shut Down Social Media Account After Backlash
Some people use social media for the wrong reasons. After the incident, some fans believed it would be a good idea to make Petgrave feel even worse.
Matt Petgrave had to lock all of his socials due to death threats, & people just being absolute scumbag humans.
I've met Matt plenty of times. If you think because he has a lot of penalty minutes that he's a horrible human, you're wrong.
Quit being asshole humans for fuck's sake
Disgusting Comments
The comments that were made to Petgrave are horrible. Anyone who saw what happened knows that this was an accident. But some people thought it would be a good idea to attack him.
Many comments weren't even related to the incident and were straight-up racists.
Got people on his posts calling him a N****. Wishing death on him. F*ck, you people are horrible.
This is horrible, and we truly hope that we never see something like this happen again in hockey.
