Ochocinco: ‘MJ’s death just as sad as 9/11’

After the news of pop star Michael Jackson’s death reached the public, athletes everywhere started to share their disbelief on the web. One of those athletes was Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco, who said Jackon’s death was just as sad as the 9/11 tragedy.

“Okay, first Mrs. Fawcett now Mr. Jackson, please tell me that this is a mistaken rumor, if not this is just as sad as 9/11 …

okay not as bad as 911, its sad period, both situations my goodness people, they just said he is okay in the hospital …

The 9/11 was a bit over the top, i am just in an emotional state right now, bare with me while i regroup people, be back in 10 minutes …

Sorry 85 million times, today sucks man, i still have my jacket with the zippers on it, wow”

Comparing Jackson’s sad death to a national tragedy was just flat out stupid. Ocho obviously crossed the line, realized it and apologized. But this is proof that certain athletes should stay off sites like Twitter, where the public can read their half-wit thoughts at any time.
