Social media users outraged after PSG footballer Neymar posts insensitive tweet paying tribute to Stephen Hawking 




The Brazilian footballer Neymar has caused outrage on social media after his latest tweet paying tribute to the great Stephen Hawking was labelled insensitive and of poor taste.

The superstar footballer who moved to PSG in a staggering €222m transfer last summer, has seemingly gotten on the wrong side of many on the social media platform after he posted pic of himself in wheelchair whilst making gesture with his hands.

It is believed the photo which has been described as in poor taste was taken by the footballer who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, shortly after the news of the great astrophyist’s death broke.

In the post the Brazilian wrote: “You have to have a positive attitude and get the best out of the situation in which you find yourself.”

The post which can still be seen on the star’s official twitter account, has been described as repulsive, disgusting and in overall poor taste by many on the social media platform.
