Eagles fans are tormenting Kiko Alonso while he's on vacation
As Enrico Campitelli pointed out in his most recent post for CSN Philadelphia, we are beginning to hit the lull in NFL news for teams whose seasons have come to an end.
With all this extra time for football players, many have begun their offseason travels, heading to beach resorts to kick back and relax.
One of those guys is Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Kiko Alonso.
Alonso is vacationing in Puerto Rico, and according to his Instagram posts, he seems to be having a great time.
That's apparently a problem for some Eagles fans.
Alonso didn't have a particularly strong season in his first year in Philadelphia. In his third year as an NFL pro, Alonso managed to record just 30 tackles in 14 games. That's not all that much for an inside linebacker. And when you consider the fact that Alonso was traded for LeSean McCoy, the Eagles' all-time leading rusher in the midst of his prime, Philadelphia fans may have given Alonso a bad rap from the get-go.
So how do those fans let Alonso know they are upset? They bash his Instagram vacation posts in brutal fashion.
We'll choose to forego some of the vulgar posts, but here are some of the comments on Alonso's seemingly innocent vacation posts.
