GREEN BAY, Wis. -- San Francisco 49ers right tackle Anthony Davis tweeted disparaging words about Appleton, Wis. on Saturday night on the eve of his team's NFC wild-card game against the Green Bay Packers.
Davis tweeted that former pro wrestler Ric Flair was addressing the 49ers in a meeting Saturday night at their team hotel in Appleton.
"Nature Boy Ric Flair flew into this s---hole to show us some love," Davis tweeted.
After receiving unhappy responses to his initial tweet about Appleton, Davis took to Twitter once again to disparage the town.
"Ok everybody that strongly disagrees w me can you defend your argument on this place not being a s---hole? lol btw that is not Rhetorical," Davis tweeted.

Whatever, Davis.
Somehow a guy that's sitting around listening to a fool like Ric Flair judging Appleton is pretty funny.

(9,965 posts)Davis ain't wrong.... It's less a geography thing than a people thing - but many there are seriously stuck on themselves, and not in a good way.

(505 posts)This won't be the first or last time somebody whined about winter on the Frozen Tundra. I'm a long suffering Vikings fan (got an Alan Page jersey to prove it). It takes a certain breed to show up for an outside game in the middle of a Polar vortex. Something folks from milder climes rarely get to experience. How many 'Frisco fans will venture out side the boxes to get up close to the bikini clad (both genders) cheeseheads?

I like Wisconsin in general.
