Jon Ryan, disgusted with a Seahawks fan commenting on the Orlando shooting, walks away from social media.
I've gotta' say, I can see where he's coming from. The only way I can stay on this site, is by consciously deciding to not go into Non-Sports talk. It's bad enough on the General sports threads.
This whole story just makes me sad. I can't even get the energy up to be outraged about it. Anyway, good for Jon Ryan.

My Northwest website said:Seahawks punter Jon Ryan was active on social media before deleting his Twitter and Instagram accounts over the weekend. (AP)
Seahawks punter Jon Ryan deleted both his Twitter and Instagram accounts Sunday night following a testy interaction with a fan on Instagram about homosexuality, according to the Seattle PI.
Ryan’s post appeared to refer to the mass shooting Sunday at a gay nightclub in Orlando, the PI reports. One commenter wrote: “Where in the bible does it say it’s ok to be (sic) homo sexual?” Ryan responded, “… please unfollow me. You’re a terrible human being … please stop cheering for the Seahawks. We don’t want piece of (expletive) fans like you. Thanks.”
Ryan’s fiancé, Sarah Colonna, confirmed in a tweet that Ryan is done with social media:

As I watch @JonRyan9 delete his Twitter & Instagram "because people are defending a terrorist, a murderer," how can I argue.
The 34-year-old Ryan has been both candid and humorous on social media in the past, posting nearly 7,000 tweets. ESPN’s Sheil Kapadia named Ryan the best Seahawk to follow on social media Sunday morning, hours before Ryan deleted his accounts.
