Ty Nsekhe was on the St. Louis Rams practice squad as an offensive lineman, but was injured and put on waivers a few weeks ago. Nsekhe had this Twitter exchange today:

Seriously?
Nsekhe was taken to task for obvious reasons:

Military and non-military alike weren’t thrilled with the comment:
@debostic @ChrisLoesch @DLoesch @ali @TwitchyTeam @michellemalkin @STLouisRams Douche! How about show some F'ing respect for our soldiers!

@ChrisLoesch @TY_Nsekhe @debostic Pro Tip for Ty, don't piss off a bunch of patriots. Not a great way to build your fan base.

@debostic @TY_Nsekhe @_Morganism_ Ugh. Defending ones profession by trashing another isn't the best way to go. Athletes & twitter…bad mix.

Speaking of “skill”:
@ChrisLoesch all those people sacrificed for @TY_Nsekhe to have that freedom and he's stuck on the practice squad

So apparently @TY_Nsekhe doesn't think it takes as much skill to be a soldier as it does to sit on the bench for the @STLouisRams..orly?

Ouch.
@ChrisLoesch oh wait @TY_Nsekhe isn't even listed on the STL practice squad http://t.co/Tz1UkWrXD9

And Nsekhe might never go anywhere if he continues to prove himself as a public relations time bomb.
[Update]
Nsekhe deleted his tweets about soldiers, but as he’ll soon realize, Twitchy is forever. He tweeted that he didn’t mean to demean members of the military.
