Tua Tagovailoa, wife caught in apparent 'burner' situation
nypost.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Former Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is facing social media backlash after appearing to use a burner account to comment on his own Instagram post in Falcons gear.
- The comment, initially posted from an account under the name @tuaman, praised Tagovailoa but was quickly noticed and mocked by fans before being switched to his wife's account.
- It is possible that Tagovailoa's wife controls his Instagram and accidentally commented from the wrong profile, but the incident still drew significant online criticism.
- Tagovailoa is struggling in Falcons training camp, with reports indicating his performance has made it unlikely he will be named the starting quarterback for Week 1.
- The Falcons are considering Michael Penix Jr. as a potential starter despite his recent ACL injury, and it remains uncertain if Tagovailoa will play in the season opener against the Steelers.
