Benoît Assou-Ekotto, the Cameroonian footballer playing for Tottenham Hotspur, caused a stir with a tweet in which he encouraged his followers to “be strong at work” and “think positive,” adding a humorous note about hating one’s boss. Given the context of his recent knee injury, some interpreted it as a comment about his football manager.
However, Assou-Ekotto quickly clarified that the tweet was not directed at his own boss but was a general message to his followers. Social media posts from athletes often attract attention, and in this case, the player wanted to ensure that his message was not misinterpreted.
