‘Tweet is indicative of the snowflake culture’ – Arsenal fans react to Mesut Ozil tea gif aimed at journalist on social media
Arsenal beat North London rivals Tottenham 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Not many pundits thought the Gunners would put on such an impressive display.
Few thought Mesut Ozil would be star of the show but boy did he prove his critics wrong.
The 2014 World Cup winner provided an assist and picked up the Man of the Match award.
The official Arsenal twitter account responded by calling out journalist Adam Crafton after the game.

Is everyone being too sensitive?
The whole storm over that arsenal tweet is indicative of the snowflake culture shrouding modern society. Absolutely pathetic. Go back to sleep Adam Crafton.

Some media butt hurt to an amusing bit of banter from the @Arsenal #loveit

These journalists can say/write anything to demote our club. But a simple gif and a correct response trigger them so much.

Should Arsenal have to apologise if a minority of fans were abusive?
This Crafton – Arsenal debate is going to split people but honestly don’t see anything malicious in Arsenal response. Fault of the abusers, not Arsenal.

I see what you did there!

Not all Arsenal accounts believe he was abused. What do you think?
Good morning all, another 12 hours have passed and still no-one can find any evidence of Crafton being abused let alone for 14 straight hours. Could a Daily Mail journo have been making it all up? https://t.co/iqNAb9urQJ

Again, no substance to your reply. I did a twitter search as soon as Crafton complained. His claim about the amount and type of abuse he received is false.

Journalists still defending Adam Crafton’s accusations yet when asked to point out where said abusive tweets are, told to search for them. When confirmed I had and asked again for them go be shown to me, accusers go silent.
Absolute nonsensical BS.

Well she makes a strong point!
No one should point Adam Crafton to the comments section of his own rag. He definately couldn’t cope.

There are two sides to every argument.
Adam Crafton’s follower count has gone up. Daily Mail website traffic increased for a nothing article. Martin Samuel described him as the best young journalist in the country on the Sunday Supplement this morning. I’d say that’s a good result for them. The faux outrage is amusing
