data-mm-id=”_urdlmj403″>Social media can be a rough place for anyone, especially high-profile figures. It doesn't matter if you engage with the outspoken or not. You'll always be a target for criticism, often in the harshest way.Sports fans on platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter) can take great delight in the downfall of athletes. Quarterback Desmond Ridder became the target of ridicule on Tuesday when NFL teams reduced their rosters to the mandatory maximum of 53 players.The Arizona Cardinals released Ridder after he lost the team's QB competition to become Kyler Murray's backup. The Cardinals chose Clayton Tune, a 2023 fifth-round pick, over Ridder, who was traded to Arizona in March by the Atlanta Falcons.Source: The #AZCardinals are releasing QB Desmond Ridder, who was in a backup battle with Clayton Tune.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 27, 2024One man's misfortune is a troll's opportunity to mock. And it didn't take long for NFL Twitter to resurrect a commercial starring Ridder during much happier times when he was the Falcons' starting quarterback.Desmond Ridder's Doordash commercial is trending after he was cut from the #AZCardinals 😅pic.twitter.com/ekQnZkvva8 https://t.co/DXMfoKwab6— Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) August 27, 2024Yep, the haters went there. But it's not surprising. Ridder's detractors made the same joke about his "future job" as a DoorDash driver after he threw three interceptions in Atlanta's 24-16 loss to the Washington Commanders last October.So where does Ridder go from here? He'll likely continue to train and wait for a call from a quarterback-needy team. Surely, there will be another opportunity for the soon-to-be 25-year-old to join an NFL roster as an injury replacement.But if he's asked to do an ad by Uber or Lyft, he should probably pass no matter how well it pays.

At the moment, Andrea Sottil s team are in 11th place with 35 points, with a c…

Former Manchester United winger and Wales manager Ryan Giggs is “relieved” at being cleared of domestic violence allegations made by his ex-girlfriend after charges were dropped.
Kate Greville told police and lawyers she did not want to go through the ordeal of a second trial after jurors failed to reach verdicts in the high-profile first trial last year, Manchester Crown Court heard.
Giggs, 49, was not in court on Tuesday as lawyers said there was no longer any realistic prospect of conviction and it was not in the public interest for Giggs to go on trial for a second time over allegations made by Greville and her sister Emma.
Peter Wright KC, prosecuting, offered no evidence against Giggs at the 20-minute hearing as the allegations were formally dropped.

The City midfielder suffered a recurrence of a recent groin injury in the club’s FA Cup win at Luton on Tuesday.
