Several NFL stars rebelled against Twitter’s policies after Elon Musk took over the social media giant last year. He mandated netizens pay $8 for the blue check marks next to their names, something that celebrities found quite disgusting. Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was one of them who openly criticized the move and poked fun at his peers for making similar comments.

Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons disliked the policy as soon as the announcement was made. He claimed to open troll accounts and unleash madness across the platform. Hill, who found this tweet interesting, pointed out the linebacker’s recent affection for boxing and attending the Garcia vs. Davis fight while not paying for the Twitter blue.

Elon Musk paid $43 billion to acquire social media platforms to enforce his free speech agenda. However, he made some tweaks to the internal operations and policies. As an overall revamp to the entire system, Musk introduced a new subscription-based provision to retain the blue check mark.

Celebrities and prominent personalities across the country were not accepting this agenda because they wanted the platform to remain free and public. Parsons, who openly criticized the move, threatened to open fake accounts and operate them.
Moreover, he has been constantly tweeting about the highly anticipated game between Garcia and Davis. He claimed to have found a way to knock out Garcia. Being a boxing fan since childhood, the youngster shared an old snippet on his account where he mentioned Garcia exposing his face and that a power punch would be sufficient to knock him down.

The Cheetah will go down as one of the greatest wide receivers in the history of the league. He has played for almost seven years in the league, and all these seasons, he has been a consistent weapon for the team.
Despite shifting his base to Miami last year, Hill maintained his performance and earned his seventh Pro Bowl selection. In a recent podcast, the veteran wideout announced his retirement after playing for 10 years in the league.
