Jessie James Defends NFL Husband In Twitter Rant, Then Deletes Account

For some reason, Eric Decker was looking for love from New York Jets fans during a forgettable 1-7 season.

He posted the following tweet on Wednesday:

Anybody who knows New York sports fans know that the following social media discussion was less than pleasant.

The hate got so real that Decker's wife, country star Jessie James, got involved.

"You think he really cares what y'all think haters?'' James tweeted (via Newsday). "He's laughing his [butt] alllll [sic] the way home . . . Life is pretty good here. Can't complain.''

And later: "We embrace the jets fans and couldn't be happier to be here!'' she tweeted before going dark. "Things will look up!! The haters are another story . . . Get it straight.''

James deleted her Twitter account after those posts, and it's uncertain whether she'll return.

For his part, Decker said that he expected some negativity when posting the original tweet.

"You've got to expect that, obviously,'' he said. "Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I don't think it's against the law to try to unite or reach out to fans. When you're in the position you are, people obviously enjoy winning a lot more than losing. I get that. But they still love the team aspect.'

And later: "Wish things would be different. I didn't expect everything to be all happy and gung-ho [on Twitter], I knew I was going to get some sarcastic remarks. Because you're always going to get it, no matter the situation. There's always someone out there wanting attention and being Mr. Negative.''

Taste of Country points out that the couple brought their first child into the world in March, and James released an EP, Coming Home, in April.
