May this be a lesson to Shaun King … not EVERYTHING has to be a political statement.

At halftime, like many Americans, Shaun was clearly surprised by the score of the Super Bowl; let’s be honest, no one had the Falcons being competitive let alone LEADING.

Of course unlike other Americans, Shaun had to get on Twitter and make the lead POLITICAL:

Guess who deleted his tweet AFTER the Patriots came back to win the game?

Relax @ShaunKing Atlanta won the popular vote. So the Patriots are an illegitimate super bowl winner @ReaganBattalion — Jerry Fletcher (@guntotingteabag) February 6, 2017

The jokes were flying after the game but nothing was QUITE as funny as Shaun King talking smack and then having to literally eat his words.

TIE GAME. The biggest comeback in Super Bowl History. It's not over ATL. We can still win this!#RiseUp — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) February 6, 2017

Uh-oh.

Don't give up ATL. Fight to the very end. #RiseUp — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) February 6, 2017

Double uh-oh.

The biggest collapse in Super Bowl history. That hurts. Sorry Atlanta. We'll be back next year. — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) February 6, 2017

Yeah, that hurt.

But did it hurt as much as the amount of trash you talked and had to DELETE at the end of the game?

Ha!
