I wonder what thoughtful words we might find below!

Let's take a look, shall we?

@Redskins retweet this if Bruce Allen forced you to post this.

— S dot (@SlipperyPeteAF) October 26, 2018

You gotta feel for the guy that had to tweet this. Just a yard sale of gifs. https://t.co/nD2dJ2JlhD

— danny rouhier (@funnydanny) October 26, 2018

Oh no! What happened?!

redskins-deleted-tweet

Among the deluge of replies, there were, by my count, five genuinely kind responses. Although, in fairness to Allen, the Redskins deleted the tweet, so who knows how many more would have rolled in!

Thanks for your support Bruce!! Happy Birthday!
