“Couldn’t Care Less”: Fans Mock Lance Armstrong Over His Tweet About Prince Harry’s Memoir Launch

Lance Armstrong, the ace cyclist, hits the world of social media with his signature style–sarcasm about the fresh launch of British Royal Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare. While he echoed several fans’ opinions of the wait being finally over, few took a dig at him for his choice of words.

The memoir Spare reveals insights into the prince’s courageous life experiences through love and royalty. Although it is not known whether Armstrong deliberately structured the sentence deviating from its actual usage, numerous fans didn’t hesitate to draw attention to the lacking logic in the tweet.

The media thronged the world with updates and news about the launch of the memoir of Prince Harry, the younger son of King Charles III and his first wife, the late Princess Diana. When the day finally arrived, the pro-cyclist, Armstrong, took a dig at the pomp and grandeur with which the news of the book was propagated. 

Armstrong highlights the hype surrounding the book’s release and drives home the message that people are freed of media updates on the book for its wait is finally over. However, a sentence at the fag end of the tweet caught fans’ attention and they wouldn’t keep quiet. “I could care less,” he ended the tweet.

While the cyclist champion tried to express how unconcerned he is about the book, by using “I could care less,” he gave room for a whirlwind of debate surrounding its logic. A Twitter user wrote, “It’s ‘couldn’t care less.’ Think about it. ‘Could care less’ implies that you care to some extent. Because it can be further reduced. Just sayin’.”

Besides, a Twitter user resonated with Armstrong’s thoughts and shared, “This is pretty rich coming from you, Lance.” 

Love for a sportsperson also means remembering every action ever committed by them. Although the subject of discussion is not connected to the cyclist’s past allegations, a few Twitter users made references to Armstrong’s infamous, decade-old interview with Oprah Winfrey. Despite confessions and explanations, people have his past acts fresh in their memories.

“That’s how we all felt for a while after you went on Oprah!”

Few comments connected the continuous updates of the memoir’s launch to Armstrong’s repeated denial of allegations of using performance-enhancing drugs. Relating the memoir showing up in the stands after a long wait, a Twitter user wrote, “That’s how we all felt for a while after you went on Oprah!” where he finally confessed the truth. 

The highly regarded road racing cyclist, Lance Armstrong, won seven consecutive Tour de France titles from 1999 to 2005. However, a series of investigations proved the usage of PEDs and banned substances to enhance his cycling performance. As a result, they stripped him of his titles.

While it is commendable that Armstrong opted to come open about this, despite his denial initially, people don’t miss an opportunity to remind him of the past. Are they being impolite? Are they unapologetic? What are your thoughts? Please leave a remark.
