This Guy Took the Best Motivational Photo at the Boston Marathon and Refused to Let ESPN Use It

As many of you know yesterday was the day of the Boston Marathon.  It went about as smoothly as it could go and it was beautiful to see so many people gathered to support all the runners who participated.   Of all the motivation that supporters could give, one Boston native who goes by the name “Abdul” on Twitter, held up perhaps the best motivational sign of the day.   As you see in the photo above, this was the score in the Superbowl before the Patriots made an impossible comeback to win the championship.  But the story gets better.

Upon seeing this guy’s tweet, ESPN wanted permission to use the photo.  Here’s the exchange they had on Twitter.

ESPN: Hello. May ESPN have permission to use this photo on all platforms with a courtesy?

Abdul: After the witch hunt ESPN led against Tom Brady? Absolutely the f*** not. In fact block me right now. Go f*** yourselves.

Let’s all give a shout out to Abdul Dremali for posting this photo and sticking it to the man.  P.S. he has the Twitter handle “Advil.”  How awesome is that?  I don’t know who the man in the photo is yet but I’m working on it.  As far as Abdul is concerned you can learn more about him at his website.

Here’s the tweet that’s now world famous.
