Congressman Brendan Boyle (D, 13th District) represents most of MoreThanTheCurve.com’s coverage area (Plymouth Township is split between two districts). He is very active on Twitter, usually criticizing President Trump. However, he recently got into it with soccer fans, when he Tweeted after the USA lost a game that resulted in the team not advancing to the World Cup. Here is the Tweet:
I was really disappointed the USA men’s team didn’t qualify for the World Cup. Then I remembered I couldn’t care less about soccer.

Soccer fans responded and you can read the responses here.
How did Boyle respond? He doubled down Trump-style and called soccer fans “snowflakes.” See the Tweet below:
Had no idea soccer fans were such snowflakes. Guys, do yourselves a favor. Watch the baseball playoffs. You’re welcome.
