Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Wait…wait…hahahahahahahahahaha. Marshall Henderson has officially come up with the most hilarious excuse we have ever heard for an idiotic tweet. On Monday morning, Henderson tweeted that he is boycotting SportsCenter because of ESPN’s “nasty ass” coverage of Michael Sam. Henderson called it “sickening” that his two younger brothers had to see Sam and his boyfriend kiss.
Less than an hour later, Henderson explained that the tweet was simply part of a psychology experiment he was helping his gay friend with. You can’t make this stuff up.
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR INPUT AND RESPONSES!!! MY NEXT TWEET IS REALLY GONNA THROW EVERYONE A CURVEBALL

One of my best friends, WHO IS GAY, is about to graduate in psychology, asked me to say these things so he can have responses … TBC

The point of his study was to see how people react when others say things or act a certain way against another group of people … TBC

He chose gays because of how he relates to it and has to live it EVERYDAY of his life … He asked me because he knew I would get incredible

For further context, here are two more tweets that Henderson sent after his first comment about Sam:
Im sorry, but I DO NOT AGREE WHATSOEVER that should be shown to where innocent eyes can see!!!

POINT #3: Who is the worse person, me for what I said or any of the HUNDREDS who just cursed me?? LOL uh oh… #ThisIsFun

The fact that he expects us to believe any of this is amazing. We love to criticize athletes for tweeting dumb stuff and claiming they were hacked, but that probably would have been a better approach for Henderson here. I literally can’t stop laughing.
