Latest NFL Twitter ‘fight’ is for the birds
May 25, 2016, 1:18 PM
Five different NFL teams have bird-related nicknames, and Wednesday every one of them decided to have a bit of social media fun.
It all started with the Seattle Seahawks trying to be a little funny, and then went on from there.
We spotted a convocation of eagles during todays practice, these yours @Eagles? 🤔https://t.co/RiEBAECFnj

Having seen this, the Philadelphia Eagles decided to respond:
.@Seahawks you caught us. pic.twitter.com/TeoGGv8FQh

That could have been the end of it, but the Seahawks then decided to go and make a pretty terrible joke:
.@Eagles You know spying is ill-eagle, right? pic.twitter.com/6Bx8p5hHxE

It was at that point where the Atlanta Falcons joined in on the fun with their own bad pun:
.@Seahawks come on, @Eagles. That's Falcon ridiculous. pic.twitter.com/vDSnRJOKfP

Not to be left out, the Baltimore Ravens joined in on the fun:

And of course, the Seahawks could not let all of this go by without putting their stamp on it:

Which, in turn, led to this:
.@Seahawks @AtlantaFalcons @Eagles Please. You can't get more majestic than: pic.twitter.com/bXobfKhjzC

…and this:

It was at that point where the Arizona Cardinals joined the fray, perhaps ending the entire thing with one simple .gif:
