LSG Coach Jonty Rhodes Engages in Ugly Social Media Conflict With Fan

The social media interaction took an ugly turn when a fan accused the South African great of calling him ‘jobless’. Jonty Rhodes had to take to social media to issue a clarification and even apologize to the fan for any hurt caused by his comments. The incident began when the fan posted a tweet about wanting a reply from a specific team, which Rhodes responded to by urging the fan to “get a life.” The fan felt offended and expressed disappointment, causing Rhodes to defend himself, expressing his involvement with acid attack survivors in Lucknow and advocating for their cause.

He encouraged the fan to consider the struggles of those survivors before making an issue about his own desire for a response from the team.
