We rarely get to see a star NFL player publicly go against his team’s management, much less their spouse rant on their behalf, but social media gave us both in the case of now former New Orleans Saints running back Darren Sproles and his wife Michel.
First, Sproles found out about his team trying to trade him via Twitter on Tuesday.
WOW! “@ESPNNFL: THIS JUST IN: Saints now plan to trade RB Darren Sproles due to heavy interest. He will not be released.

Sproles’ wife did not like the way his team was treating her hubby, and let them know via Instagram yesterday.
Sproles was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles today. We’ll be on the lookout for Michel cheering in the Philadelphia stands next season
