The account, which used the display name “Jones smith” and had no followers or photo, has since been deleted. The Journal preserved a few screenshots of her replies. From the report:
The most frequent sparring partner for @forargument is the nation’s sports media. On Sept. 26, @ProFootballTalk, the Twitter account for the popular NBC Sports blog, tweeted that it was “on the commissioner” to solve the anthem issues.
In response, @forargument tweeted: “Please do better reporting. He is already doing this. You are behind.”
All that remains of the account now are a couple of one-sided conversations, most of which seem to be quibbles regarding facts on stories about the NFL, with reporters Gabriel Sherman and Jared Dubin:
@forargument It’s been corrected. Thanks for looking out.
@forargument It’s a fairly small piece of info that doesn’t have much — if any — effect on the crux of the story and has been corrected.
@forargument I always strive for on the record sources but reporting on a powerful institution like NFL means only some speak anonymously
Jane confirmed to the Journal that she indeed was behind @forargument:
“It was a REALLY silly thing to do and done out of frustration—and love.” Mrs. Goodell said Thursday afternoon in a written statement. “As a former media member, I’m always bothered when the coverage doesn’t provide a complete and accurate picture of a story. I’m also a wife and a mom. I have always passionately defended the hard-working guy I love—and I always will. I just may not use Twitter to do so in the future!”
Jane is ride-or-die.
