The MetLife Stadium, New Jersey saw a dramatic showdown between the revered New York Jets and the Buffalo Bulls. The Monday night game saw the Jets inch toward victory but it was not all a happy fanfare as one would hope. For the game, Aaron Rodgers became the 53rd quarter-back to start for them but his debut was not something he would cherish. A scathing injury that has possibly benched him for the season, last night’s match is one that cannot be forgotten.

In the fourth snap for the Jets, the former Green Bay Packers name went down in what most fear is a season-ending Achilles injury. However, the devastating blow to their confidence did not deter the Jets from securing a 10-point come-from-behind victory. As fans rejoice in the victory and grapple with the injury of their star player, they’ve also found one person to channel their frustration toward. Embodying his nickname perfectly, against stepping in to cause a serious stir, it is ‘Problem Child’ Jake Paul.

What did Jake Paul do now?

Jake Paul is a classic example of how sometimes things just don’t go the way you would hope they would. Who would’ve thought that his visit to the stadium to enjoy one of the most important games of the year would in fact give him the tag of ‘Jinx King’? Well, here we are. The influencer-turned-boxer met Rodgers’ by the stands ahead of the game. But as the game progressed and the quarterback found himself injured, Paul’s name was taken as a means to channel some blame.

Fans were very quick to take some scathing attacks at Paul. One user began the entire ‘Jinx King’ fiasco and attributed Rodgers’s injury directly to him. The user said, “The jinx king touched rodgers and now he broke his ankle.”

Another user seemed evidently pissed at Paul. Of course, Rodgers’ injury is saddening but projecting this anger toward Problem Child was this user’s coping mechanism. He said, “That’s why his ankle f*cked now.”

In a hilarious take on the handshake, a user took digs at Paul. They claimed that the NFL star wiped his hands off right after meeting the fighter. The user commented, “That’s why he wiped his hands after.”

Further, a user took shots at the fighter for being one of the Youtubers venturing into the boxing realm. Ever since the trend of influencers trying out combat became a thing, there has been an increasing contention against such undertakings. Adding to this discourse, a user said, “Aside from Jake solidifying his role as the ultimate Jinx, where does he get coined as having “game” boxing G leaquers and YouTubers?? ” lol gtfoh!!!”

To top it all off, a user further claimed that the Jets superstar did not even want to meet Paul. He said, “Aaron looked like “why are you here?”

It is really hard to say if Jake Paul is a victim of such instances or if these occurrences are a result of his own antics. However, to associate a player’s injury to someone who was not a part of the game seems rather farfetched. But that is what the realm of sports entails. Overwhelming emotions often make people project them in ways unthought of.
