Twitter Reaction to Wayne Hunter getting Benched

It’s always interesting to see what people have to say on anything Jets on twitter, especially when it’s a lighting rod event… oh like the benching of OT Wayne Hunter.

The RT has been struggling and twitter has been crazy this past week (he’s been trending on twitter nationally many times this week).  Here are but a sampling of reactions from the media, some fans and some jokers.
