Man's man John Axford live-tweets 'The Bachelor' during CFB Championship game
Axford live-tweets 'Bachelor' during CFB Championship
No one should be questioning John Axford's masculinity. He's a father and a professional baseball player with one of the best mustaches in the business . Plus, it's 2015 and the stereotypical gender norms that populate the offices of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce Cutler Gleason & Chaough need not generally apply to anyone.
But that didn't prevent Axford from having to defend his manliness on Twitter on Monday night where he caught flak for his choice to enjoy the reality television stylings of "The Bachelor" instead of the CFB Championship game featuring the Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes.
Axford started by hilariously live-tweeting the "The Bachelor":
Ummmm, are you seeing this tractor race on #TheBachelor @DinamoPhysio? Why are they in bikinis? Did they actually shut down a road for this?

For all of you telling me to hand in my #ManCard for watching #TheBachelor over College Football... Just remember ... pic.twitter.com/2BSv4JU5PO
