Four-year-old who went viral for her NFL picks received death threats over playoff results

[Floyd R. Turbo]

The father of a 4-year-old whose accurate NFL predictions made her a viral sensation says his family is now receiving death threats after her picks during the playoffs were losers.

Reese Donatelli gained a large social media following for her spirited and sassy football predictions posted to her dad’s account, often grabbing the mini helmet of the NFL team she believed would win and sometimes tossing aside the loser’s.

Still, during the first weekend of this month’s playoff games, several of her predictions missed the mark, prompting some followers to claim her picks were “cursed.”

Her father, radio personality Anthony Donatelli of Riverside, California, told the Los Angeles Times that the family has received threatening messages, including demands for money from people who claimed to have lost thousands of dollars because Reese’s picks were incorrect.

1. That's whack.

Trusting a four-year-old no matter the outcome.

With AI and all the algo rhythms, winners still can't be predicted.

And the death threats are another matter altogether. (Obviously MAGAts)

2. Degenerate gamblers are ruining sports.

Legal gambling is turning fans into a mob when they lose money. It’s killing sports radio too.

3. I hate when Sports Radio becomes as vile and venomous as RW Talk Radio.

4. Me too.

18. The announcers: Chris Drone-on-collinsworth. Tony Blowmo. Troy Acheman. Joe Thinks-he's-a-stud-buck.

Are all so biased for a their team, kinda looks like they are on the payroll of the bookies. They’re disqusting. I had to quit watching football because of them. And the refs are on the payroll of the bookies too. It’s not only try to beat the other team now, it’s try to beat the other team and the refs.

[get the red out]

5. What kind of imbeciles follow a 4 y/o's predictions?

They would be much better off using Tarot cards.

6. OMG how did they believe a 4 year old. What the hell

[multigraincracker]

7. Time to better regulate phone calls.

Make spoofing callers ID a felony. Charge 5 cents for all foreign calls.
If your like me you don’t answer the phone anymore.

8. Sorry, but sportscaster should have known better

Somebody working in the media... in this day and age of internet threats and general uncivil behavior... and he puts his 4yo out here?

[newdeal2]

9. Also agree with this

No excuse for their behavior. But parents, please do not put your kids photos and videos online for the general public to see. It can lead to so many problems.

[Nittersing]

10. I know it sounds like victim blaming, but seriously...

who would think this is okay.

[newdeal2]

13. This particular case is weird

But there are a lot of creeps out there. And now with AI and facial recognition technology, you don’t need to put your kids at risk.

[Javaman]

11. chronic gamblers with a intelligence level of a 3 year old

pissed that their elder didn't pick the winners.

[mopinko]

12. cry baby nation. ffs.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

14. I hope dear old dad recorded these threats and reported them to police.

Othrwise, I call "BS" on this "threat" nonsense.

I think someone is seeking publicity.

[MustLoveBeagles]

15. They placed bets based on a 4 year olds predictions?

Then blamed the kid for their own dumbassery? SMDH. One another note, I'm sorry that Anthony's family was threatened but maybe it wasn't a good idea to put Reese on his social media account.

[Jacson6]

16. I have a family member who pays an astrologist to pick winners in games.

He has lost tens of thousands of dollars on the bets.

[MustLoveBeagles]

17. It's the risk you take on such things

Your family member needs to find a new astrologist or to stop placing bets.
