Former Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs, now with the Texans, appeared to take a shot at his former team after they agreed to trade him to Houston. While that itself is not an uncommon occurrence and players often trade barbs with general managers, coaches, owners, and even former colleagues, generally the fanbase is excluded.
In fact, many players go out of their way to thank the fans that turned out for them. Even when someone like Aaron Rodgers, a surefire Hall-of-Famer, was traded by the Green Bay Packers for the New York Jets, he still wished the Cheeseheads well. That is just one example.
But Stefon Diggs does not seem to have any such qualms, or perhaps his time in Buffalo was not something that he wants to remember. His latest like was one dissing the Bills fanbase calling it one of the worst and accusing them of being bitter.
Fans immediately pounced on him on X, formerly known as Twitter, and called him a 'weirdo' and a 'diva'. Here are some of the reactions given below.

While some slammed him, others said that it was par for the course and something they expected from Stefon Diggs. Minnesota Vikings' fans, who once similarly adored him, said that it was nothing they had not seen before from the wide receiver. Whether fair or not, here are some of their comments on X.
"Vikings Fans: pretends to be shocked [GIF]."
"Same bills fans that were dismissing us vikings fans when we were warning them of diggs are now in the same position."
"Another day of Diggs b*tching. 1 year of being in Houston and good luck getting a job @ 31."
There were some fans, though, who were happy with his reaction and said that the Buffalo Bills fans were at fault. Here are some of the contrarian comments.
"He is right."
"I mean the second part is undeniably true."
Fans took to reminding Stefon Diggs that he could have gone out a champion with the Bills before joining Texans
Stefon Diggs has not been happy as the Buffalo Bills reached the final stages of the playoffs every season without making the Super Bowl. He has been animated, whether that has been staring off into the distance or shouting at Josh Allen. But as fans were quick to remind him, the story could have been very different had he played better.
In last year's elimination at home against the Kansas City Chiefs, a missed field goal doomed them to a 24-27 loss. But prior to that, a deep bomb by Josh Allen was dropped by him that would have given them a better field position and even a chance to go for a touchdown.
It must also be noted that whatever feelings Stefon Diggs might have about Buffalo, statistics show that his most productive years were with the Bills. He spent the early part of his NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings but never made a Pro Bowl with them. With Josh Allen, he made it to four straight Pro Bowls and was an All-Pro twice.
