Bernard Berrian Tells Legless Army Vet To “Sit Down N Shut Up”

Bernard Berrian is a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings. The 8 year vet has struggled this season, hauling in only one reception all year. The lack of targets finally drove Berrian over the edge, and he took to twitter to vent his frustrations.

John Kriesel is a war veteran who lost both of his legs in a roadside explosion. He joked about Berrian’s complaints on his twitter account.

Berrian was not amused, so he did what any normal person would do if a legless veteran made of of them. He told the man to “sit down n **** up!”

P.S. Thanks to this guy for giving the background on Kriesel…
