Chris Simms doesn’t seem sympathetic toward late TuAnon founder after tragic death

killed in a fatal motorcycle accident last week, leaving behind a wife and four children. A GoFundMe page for Carmona’s family has already raised $86,000 including a generous $10,000 donation from Tagovailoa.

Mike Florio applauded Tua’s gesture on PFT Live, though Simms, still bruised from his previous interactions with TuAnon, didn’t share his enthusiasm, coming off as unmistakably bitter toward a team and fanbase that, for years, has been a thorn in his side. “It is a nice gesture.

It really is,” said Simms of Tua’s donation. “It’s a horrible thing, a horrible accident. He obviously is a huge Tua fan. Also a huge guy that trolled me a lot on Twitter. ”Hiding behind a voice modulator and a latex dolphin mask, Carmona’s TuAnon persona was largely satirical, a parody of the kind of gung-ho, ride-or-die fan that would run through a wall for their favorite player.

Simms, however, must not have seen the humor in it, holding a grudge, even in the aftermath of Carmona’s tragic death. “This is a deep subject and I think it’s societal and I won’t go into it because I’m only going to get myself in trouble,” said Simms. “We’re also setting an example like, ‘Hey here’s money to a guy who was very negative too. ’ That’s all I’m saying. ”Sports discourse can be a special kind of toxic and TuAnon has, at times, straddled the line between playful banter and outright trolling.
