An American football player flew to someone's house to beat them at FIFA

To the more culturally myopic of us in Britain, American football appears to be rugby played by sleek mechs that break down every twelve seconds. But, as it turns out, those mechs are actually people, and some of those people have entirely too much money to spend on doing weird shit.

Take Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson. This is a man who once changed his name to match his jersey number - for almost six years. Obviously, he now appears to (as SB Nation points out) spend a lot of time calling himself "#FIFA16KING" on Twitter and then attempting to earn that moniker by insisting on local multiplayer matches, no matter where his opponents might be.

Fuck fossil fuels, fuck fiscal responsibility and, most of all, fuck you - Chad Johnson will not accept being called out on his FIFA skills. Which is why I want someone from Britain to call him out next - after all, he claims he's the best player in the States. Dude needs to step up and play with the real deal:
