Dexter Fowler signed a five-year deal with the St. Louis Cardinals before the 2017 season and so far things haven’t gone all too well for the 2016 World Series champion. This season has been quite disappointing for Fowler, but the harassment by Cardinals fans has been even worse.
It’s been so bad that Fowler and his pregnant wife Aliya deleted all of their tweets on Sunday.
So uhhhhhh….. Dexter Fowler deleted his twitter account. pic.twitter.com/979xcEhHO3

Dexter Fowler and his wife had to take down their tweets because of the constant criticism about Fowler’s play….. we as Cardinal fans have been pampered with the championships and the winning so a couple bad years and we attack a player having a bad year… get out of here

Again, as always with these articles, no this isn’t indicative of how all or even the majority of Cardinals fans are, but to simply point out there are assholes and lots of them in all fan bases. Let’s not forget that Jason Heyward got rid of his Twitter account in 2016, when the Cubs were having their best season in a long time, but some fans couldn’t stop from being complete jackasses.
But harassing Fowler’s wife too? Fucking pathetic.
I have zero sympathy for the Fowler’s. Zero. His wife brings a lot of this on herself by picking fights with journalists over stupid things, and Dex… just stay off Twitter. Or you know, play better.

Lovely fan there. How about stop being a prick.
It didn’t stop there, as some more idiot Cardinals fans stayed hot during Sunday night’s game. Javier Baez took a fastball right off his left elbow and exited the game.

Naturally, some Cardinals fans were happy to see Baez in pain.

Lovely Twitter handle. Definitely one of those fans who takes more enjoyment watching the Cubs lose than the Cardinals win.

It’s very wrong and disturbing that I’m happy Javy might be out a couple weeks. #STLCards

Gotta give Nick credit here. He at least acknowledges how much of a psychopath he is.
Baez is a bitch, get up and take your base pussy #nocryinginbaseball

Pretty simple lesson. Don’t be an asshole like these fans.
That goes for Cubs fans too, who also drove Carl Edwards Jr. off Twitter for a while last year and still for some of you who are big assholes to Yu Darvish.
Get some fucking help if you really feel the need to personally attack professional athletes because they don’t perform to your liking.
If you’re one of those people, fuck off.
