It's not easy being Mark Sanchez.
Mired in a fight for his job, the New York Jets quarterback has been lustily booed by fans, picked apart by former teammates and forecast as a potential roster cut.
Afloat in choppy waters, Sanchez has kept his cool, as displayed by his response to a hateful tweet Wednesday:
Thanks for your support man! #classy RT @YOUNGSTOWN4LI4E .@Mark_Sanchez F*** YOU HOPE YOU TEAR YOUR ACL ON FRIDAY
— Mark Sanchez (@Mark_Sanchez) August 8, 2013
It's fair, even understandable, for Jets fans to show their frustration after years of suffering. But there are limits, even in Gotham.
Anyone wishing injury upon a player lacks perspective; it's a good thing Sanchez doesn't.
