Jennifer Slay is “sick” of the online vitriol.
In a message shared on X, the wife of Eagles cornerback Darius Slay called out the negativity she’s received on social media as the team looks to bounce back from consecutive losses to the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys.
“Real sh** … the amount of negativety [sic] I get is honestly sickening. I be tryna be so positive on this app and spread so much love for me to get so much hate. S–t makes no sense! It’s sad honestly!!! Smh,” Jennifer posted Sunday, the same day the Eagles were blown out by the Cowboys, 33-13.
Jennifer’s message comes amid a challenging time for the Birds, who have stalled since their 10-1 start.
Philadelphia lost 42-19 at home to the 49ers on Dec. 3, before they were defeated soundly by the Cowboys in primetime over the weekend.
Slay — who is in his fourth season in Philadelphia after re-signing with the Eagles in the offseason — addressed the chirps from critics Monday on X after a fan wrote signs on trash cans that read, “No play Slay,” and “Bradberry,” referencing his teammate, cornerback James Bradberry.
“Yall tough for this one,” Slay, 32, posted.
The five-time Pro Bowler has since changed his X avatar to the photo of the trash cans.
Despite the apparent hate from some fans, others have made it clear they have the Slays’ backs.
“Just block them. They’re not worth the attention or energy. Go Birds!” one X user replied to Jennifer on Sunday.
A separate fan added: “Stay strong and keep spreading the love!!! Our team, our city, and this platform needs more positive people like you!!!”
With four games remaining in the regular season, the Eagles are tied with the Cowboys atop the NFC East and are looking to grab a second straight division title.
The 49ers currently hold the No. 1 seed in the NFC due to their win over the Eagles, but the two teams have the same record.
The Eagles are the fifth seed as of Thursday since they have one less division win than Dallas, but Philadelphia will win the NFC East if it wins out.
The Eagles next visit Seattle on “Monday Night Football” in a matchup with NFC playoff implications.
