A few days before the match, the Minnesota Vikings, a team in the National Football League (NFL) of the United States, had asked their fans on their Twitter page to share stories of family members or friends serving in the military.
The team had also planned to honor those individuals. However, it turned out that a fake image circulated rapidly on the internet, showing a picture of Johnny Sins instead.
An NFL team in America faced embarrassment when, just before a match between the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys, a photo of adult film star Johnny Sins was displayed instead of honoring a soldier. According to a report by The New York Post, the team had encouraged fans to share stories of military service members or their families on their Twitter page. However, a fake image circulated online, leading to widespread viral attention.
The Vikings had initially planned to honor those who served in the military during the game and encouraged fans to share their stories using the hashtag '#SkolSalute'. They even offered two tickets to select fans and promised to display the submitted photos and stories on the stadium board.
However, a Twitter user named Kyle posted a tweet with a picture of Johnny Sins in military uniform, claiming it was his stepbrother Joel who served in the army. This tweet was displayed on the board before the match, and the image quickly went viral on social media.
People on social media found humor in the situation, with some expressing a desire to meet the person responsible for putting up the image on the board. The incident resulted in a mix of amusement and mockery online.
