If you’re personally harassing athletes on social media about their play or just about anything else, you’re just a dumb piece of shit.
Boundaries, people. Respect them.

check out bruce_garricrotch on IG and check the story for more context lol. I just found this stuff on Twitter and it’s wild.
Apparently Zaitsev’s dad reached out and took offence to a meme that was posted dunking on Zaitsev. So now Zaitsev himself messaged the account and I guess is threatening to beat them up?
Criticism of a player is fine, but never make it personal or about the guys family. I have no idea what Zaitsev is like as a person and I assume he’s just a normal guy. I know some fans will cross the line, but don’t be those fans.
Wild story regardless.
Edit: also for those confused, this thread was posted on Twitter but the DM exchange happened on Instagram.
Edit2: one thing I will say in defence of Zaitsev and his family here, is that his dad brought up some anti-war stuff. Nothing like that was revealed in the DM’s shown, which leads me to believe something was said that we aren’t seeing. The meme was posted Oct 1st and the first message from Igor was Oct 29th. There’s probably a lot we aren’t seeing, given that it’s Nov 14th already.

Athletes are people. Your friend posted a stupid meme insulting a person and he called him out for it. NZ might have played his last NHL game, I’m sure he’s in a pretty shitty state, then he gets attacked by some guy with a fake name on the internet?
Your friend also used a homophobic hashtag in a number of his posts which tells me that he’s likely a piece of shit in general.
Edit: seems like I wrongful inferred the OP was mates with the Person beefing with NZ. Apologies

Tbh Zaitsev’s dad calling the fan page guy (cause he thinks it’s actually Garrioch) a ‘fat lozer!!’ Is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while lol. There’s gotta be more that provoked them though, can’t just be that one meme

I’m not fully going to go after Z here, he has been targeted *hard* even if it’s warranted as a player he’s still a person. The mental toll that must take over time; everyone has their breaking point. Sure you’re not *supposed* to let this stuff get to you as an athlete, but I would not say he’s thin skinned after years of people shitting on his game. It’s remarkable it didn’t happen sooner.
Also I can just feel there is still a shit ton more context here. Just the words being used imply so much more, whether it’s a history of harassment or unfair targeting.

I must be the only one in this camp from looking at the comments, but the fact that him and his father are threatening a dude over a harmless meme is a horrible look.

You’re an absolute fuckin loser if you’re harassing athletes online. So tough until the professional athlete wants to meet face to face. Then you post it on social media calling him unprofessional. What the fuck do you think what your doing is then? This is entire post is the definition of being a clown. Give your head a shake

Zaitsev gets huge amounts of shit from the fans who are constantly blaming him for the teams losses and bad fortunes. And after a while he gets fed up?
I mean, he may not be a great defender but he is a human being. People snap?
« But he should conduct himself as a professional? »
Dude..i cant blame him att all. He is not the sole reason for this teams bad fortune. But some people behave as If he is.

Might be a battle Zaitsev might win this season

Good for you, Zaitsev. Don’t take no shit off nobody

The way Sens fans are acting is embarrassing and makes me ashamed of being a fan. He cleared waivers. You should be happy with that. Why kick him while he’s down? Leave the guy alone FFS.
There’s no doubt in my mind there’s more to this story than the narrative IG guy is trying paint. Most definitely some undeserved ignorant anti Russian shit thrown at Zaitzevs way.

This reminds me of Marchessault a couple of years ago losing his mind on IG. If I was a pro, I think I would have a social media manager to run an official account and then only be on social media on a burner account. Otherwise, I’m sure people send you all sorts of vile crap.

What?
Edit: [Apparently it is in response to a meme](https://twitter.com/91_Mags/status/1592351907196305409?t=r3dwJm7i_NqDMxUyaYf0Mg&s=19). I imagine there was more, otherwise the Zaitsev’s are incredibly thin skinned

Good job trolling, take this shit down
That’s not even Nikita’s twitter handle
