Related: About this forumPatriots Fans ‘Protest’ At NFL Offices, Arrested During ‘Sit-In’
A few New England Patriots fans took their outrage to a new level Tuesday while getting some publicity in the process.
It started with a makeshift protest outside the NFLs offices in New York, as a handful of supposed Patriots fans picketed in protest of the suspension for Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. A photo of the Patriots fans quickly went viral and was passed around Twitter.
Shortly thereafter, though, it was revealed the Patriots fans actually were a group of bloggers from the Boston-based sports blog, Barstool Sports. In addition to protesting the leagues decision, the blog pulled off a pretty good publicity stunt in the process. They eventually moved inside to the leagues office building where they hosted a sit-in of sorts. The group handcuffed themselves together and sat in the lobby.
