Ric Flair says he received death threats after 49ers speech
Posted: Jan 9th 2014 By: mikeiles
Ric Flair?s motivational speech to the San Francisco 49ers caught the attention of the Carolina Panthers. But judging from a statement from Flair?s representation on Facebook, some fans really took it personally.
From the statement:
The 49er pep talk, which instantly went viral, caused many Carolina fans to voice their feelings of anger and betrayal on social media ? some even offering death threats to Flair. ?We know fans are passionate about their teams, but some of the choice language we have been receiving is scaring off our interns,? says Melinda Morris Zanoni, Flair?s agent at Legacy Talent and Entertainment.
On his turn from a diehard Panthers fan to a 49ers supporter, Flair added this: ?What can I say? I?ve always been a very good heel!?
It should also come as no surprise that Flair will not attend the game.
