Ursa Majoris Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 ......even though he was diagnosed with cancer. Still looking for Super Bowl tickets? You may be in luck, but you're going to have to work for them. Jason Elia told ESPN 97.5 in Houston that he is giving his tickets to the person who gets him the most Twitter followers. Elia, a television writer who lives in Nashville, spent $8,000 on two tickets to Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium. He was going to take his football-loving girlfriend to the big game, but his plan went kaput. On November 7, he found out he had bladder cancer. When he told his girlfriend, she dumped him. In an interview with Trending Now, Elia said his girlfriend "could not handle the stress of having a boyfriend with cancer." To make matters worse, Elia was planning to propose to her on Christmas. Perhaps the cruelest twist of fate is that his ex-girlfriend still wanted the Super Bowl tickets. According to Elia, his ex-girlfriend says the tickets are rightfully hers because he bought them with her in mind. Well not only is Elia not giving her the tickets, he also held a contest to get rid of them. Using #WinMyExsSuperBowlTickets, he has gained thousands of followers so far, and he's planning to announce the winner Tuesday. Elia stresses that he's not doing this out of revenge. He says he "wants to give someone the same enjoyment that he thought he was going to get with someone he loved." The good news is that Elia has an 87% chance of survival, and he now has more than 9,600 Twitter followers. Could be worse, he could have cancer AND her.

Square Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 That's some cold ass chit. I don't think I'd really give a crap about how many twitter followers I had, but I definitely would rather burn them in spite than give them to that terrible chica.

Square Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 interesting twist That is extra crazy. Although the article does state: She doesn't even care about the Superbowl, she says. So I still don't like her a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
