Conor McGregor has been getting mocked on social media for a spectacular football fail while he was attending a recent Dallas Cowboys game.
The MMA fighter was hanging out on the field and mingling with fans when someone gave him a football to throw. His form was not quite what you’d expect and the internet is going in hard on him over it.

Not everyone was critical of McGregor’s throw, however, as a few of the notorious fighter’s fans defended him.
“Everybody hatin on [McGregor] for that throw. Y’all do understand that’s a high priced one off 4 figure suit right? I wouldn’t wanna rip it either,” one fan joked. “Uncultured people.”
On a side note: did anyone see Conor McGregor throw the football at the Cowboy’s game today? Definitely a “system QB”… I bet Belichick could still win a SB with him. #MadeYouFookinThink pic.twitter.com/cmkGWoFCbG

“Everybody hating on [McGregor] for his throw. That was just the aftermath of a bottle of [Proper12] Irish whiskey in the veins,” another fan commented.
McGregor eventually commented on the mockery he was getting, taking to Instagram to post the most Connor McGregor-style reply he could have mustered.
“Hahaha yous’r f—ing ruthless on this side. I just didn’t want to rip my custom @augustmcgregor baby blue billionaire blazer. That was all, y’all,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “Great job to the Cowboys today! It’s a Proper giddy up tonight in Dallas and I LOVE IT, see yous soon.”
McGregor recently lost a UFC fight to Khabib Nurmagomedov, and may possibly return to the octagon again in the summer of 2019.
