The Univision-owned sports blog Deadspin is super mad online after getting owned by Ted Cruz on Twitter.
Ted Cruz is not known for his online owning skills, let alone social skills, but somehow managed to take the edgy blog down a peg or two.
It began when Deadspin asked their followers for a picture of Cruz playing basketball “in his raw, unbridled, soup-fueled athletic form.”

Ted Cruz responded with a picture of Grayson Allen who many say looks uncannily similar to Cruz. #OWNED.

Then Deadspin told him to “go eat shit,” the last flailing desperate move of a person owned online.
@tedcruz Go eat shit.

Deadspin’s editor-in-chief also was not too pleased with getting owned, so he acted like the owning was low tier and called Cruz fans low testosterone.
Ted Cruz is a pathetic asshole, his social media intern's joke was basic, and complaints should go to marchman at deadspin dot com.

This Internet own actually is a mid-tier 6/10, and Deadspin is fake news.
Now Tim Marchman wants to fight anyone IRL who dares bash his reporter for getting owned online.
Unsurprising that not one Ted Cruz-supporting cuck/Twitter user is willing to face me in the UFC octagon.

Hundreds of dudes who can't do a pushup are tweeting at me but literally not even one has had the brass to send me an email.
