Colin Kaepernick, the talented but often criticized quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, lashed out at a fan on Twitter on Wednesday.

The outburst started after Kaepernick posted this on his timeline:
To which the fan, Stephen Batten, replied:



That was enough to prompt Kaepernick to let loose with a volley of tweets going after Batten.







It is unconfirmed if Batten indeed had eight followers when he sent out the first tweet, but as of publishing he now has over 1,500 followers — and that number is climbing fast.

Batten has yet to respond to Kaepernick’s broadside, while the quarterback retweeted the support he received from fans and media alike, including the famous sportscaster Erin Andrews.

This is the second time in two weeks that a controversial athlete has become embroiled with a fan on social media. Last Monday, embattled Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III got into a heated argument with a fan on Instagram.

Nah, that's more like TJ.

TJ doesn't throw out insults... he starts cutting.

WTF do you mean he doesn't throw insults?

Poor Batten

It's funny how Kaep even said he had a study session and the dude only pointed out the workout aspect of it.

Kaepernick shouldn't be saying shit, he's a garbage ass player.

Kaep mad tho huh
