Jets star Sauce Gardner sends message to homophobes over Twitch streamer Sketch's controversy
New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner dove into the deep end of one Twitch streamer controversy and gave his two cents on the Sketch situation. Taking to Twitter/X on July 11, Gardner posted a fun fact, calling out Twitch streamer Sneako online.
Sneako ranted about the controversy, which led to Gardner's response. Sneako claimed that Sketch wasn't "brave" by keeping the video of him engaging in a sexual act with another man a secret and waiting for the leak to confirm it.
"Fun Fact: If you are homophobic then you are also apart of the LGBTQ community and just don't want people to find out. If not, why would you care so much about what someone identify as ? (Laughing crying emoji)," the cornerback posted.
According to Forbes, Sketch confirmed himself to be homosexual after a two-year-old Only Fans video surfaced of the streamer engaging in sexual acts with another man. The confirmation resulted in a sea of backlash and now serves as a new front in the LGBTQ community's battle against homophobes.
Sauce Gardner takes up new recreational sport
Garrett Wilson's teammate is tasked with defending against balls thrown at him. However, this offseason has featured him hitting balls far away. Sauce Gardner has spent much of the last few weeks posting about golf and his early experiences with the sport.
In one post, Aaron Rodgers' top cornerback claimed that golf was "harder than football."
In other posts, he talked about his experience with the sport, asking for advice from fans. In one video he posted, he is seen playing in a golf simulator. In another video, he is seen playing the sport in a thunderstorm.
In the 10-second clip posted on Twitter/X on June 30, he is seen hitting the ball shirtless in what appears to be a downpour. As soon as he hits the ball, the screen flashes due to an apparent lightning strike.
Those were far from the only videos the New York Jets' top cornerback has posted online doing the sport. His timeline is littered with many more clips.
On June 28, Gardner claimed to break 100 for the first time, giving fans a perspective on his skill level in the sport. Breaking 100 for many is the barrier between having a good round and a sub-par round. However, professional golfers routinely shoot in the mid-high 60s. Quality amateur golfers often shoot around 80.
