New Year’s Day was a pretty special one for Philadelphia Eagles QB Carson Wentz:
Happy 5th Birthday to Mama Henley! We’ve been through a lot in 5 years. Best dog and hunting buddy I could ask for! pic.twitter.com/HW8DbxTyML

But not everyone was feeling the warm fuzzies:
Carson, congratulations on the Birthday of Mama Henley. As a friend I wanted to quickly highlight that a man in your influential position might cause offence through the posting of your first picture. I support its sentiment however the context and content of the pic could offend

And what, pray tell, is offensive about Wentz’s tweet? The hunting, you say? Well, Wentz didn’t take the bait. What he did do was respond perfectly and with genuine class:
Appreciate that, but offensive and controversial? Two of the main things I tweet about are Jesus and hunting. That’s what I’m passionate about and that won’t ever change! When you love something, you talk about it! Stay convicted about it and don’t worry what others think! https://t.co/3XsxU0kybC
