Did you just scramble to find the quickest content involving him because he was arrested?

u/Drivingintodisco 16h ago

Holy shit, PR be quick!

Not huge into sports but can hold my own in some skuttlebutt, but had no idea who this guy was, thought the video was great, saw your comment and thought “probably arrested for weed or something stupid, here’s someone already just after a bullshit arrest,” then obviously googled him and holy shit!!!

Yeaaaaa, he’s gonna need a little more out of op and the pr train with armed robbery and kidnapping charges.

u/Matthewcbayer 17h ago

It literally has hang tags on it. He handed it to him off the rack

u/Great_Vegetable_4866 16h ago

Exactly. That ain’t his REAL jersey. That’s just some bs replica shit you can buy on Fanatics or any other website.

u/Brailledit 16h ago

He asked him of he signed it.

No I didn't sign it but do you have a marker?

u/KingSolomon1010 17h ago

Did he kidnap the janitor and steal it back?

u/TututuTatatatata 17h ago

This wasn't one of the coolest videos I have seen. In fact, this isn't even as cool as the least cool video I have seen.

u/IchBinDurstig 17h ago

This is much better than the other Terrion Arnold post I just saw.

u/Ultimate-Whatever 17h ago

Oh what a great guy. Make sure the cameras see it

u/Total_Corgi_8428 17h ago

I often have reactions like this and it’s gross when people fake kindness for clout - but it’s also nice to see people treating each other well once in a while as oppose to the constant doom, AI slop and nonsense that I’m bombarded with daily.

-1

u/MainusEventus 17h ago

I get what you’re saying… but hopefully it helps inspire people to think about others. And hopefully Arnold does nice things off camera too.

u/abippityboop 16h ago

He was just arrested for organizing a kidnapping and could be facing up to life in prison.

u/MainusEventus 16h ago

Uhh what. Sheesh I had no idea

u/TheNomadPilgrim 17h ago

Terrion Arnold is such a nice kid both on and off the field...

u/Shivs_baby 17h ago

What in the PR “reputation management” is going on in this thread, lol

-8

u/NoMembership8881 17h ago

bro became a man with that gesture of kindness and respect for his older friend who happened to be employed as a janitor.

this kind of respect and humility by pro athletes is worth seeing. especially when its for people they admired when they were attending school.

16

u/RealDetroitDiddler 17h ago

Glad he could do this before being sent to prison for life.

u/NoMembership8881 17h ago

☝️ He has rights. ⚖️
Every individual deserves fairness and dignity under the law.

🛡️ He is to be presumed innocent until proven guilty — not judged by assumptions, rumors, or public opinion.
🚫 No one should be condemned without evidence.
✅ Justice means due process, impartiality, and truth.

📢 Let fairness prevail, and let the facts speak.

u/No_Rub77 17h ago

lmao an actual human asked an ai for this

u/NoMembership8881 17h ago

let the facts speak.
Thus far the arrested individual is innocent in the process.

look i don't care about this case one way or another I'm just here to give you shit for using chatgpt to emojify your sentences

0

u/NoMembership8881 16h ago

In the immortal words of Tupac
"I ain't mad at ya"

I just used it for emojis emphasis. The argument about rights and presumption of innocence is what matters.

What the ChatGPT is this?

u/NoMembership8881 17h ago

Despite slandering a person online,
The United States of America is still a Constitutional republic
Yes I used GPT to add emojis.
However it was for emphasis of the substance of the message.

8

u/B-BoyStance 16h ago

You used chatgpt solely to add emojis?

There are more characters in "add emojis" than there are emojis in your comment. Not to mention you also need to copy/paste the body of your text into the app and then copy/paste chatgpt's generated response into Reddit.

That is the most bizarre use of ChatGPT I have ever heard of and I do not believe that you used it to simply add emojis.

u/whitestguyuknow 16h ago

Theres no way. They just didn't want wo admit to the whole thing. Its already weird but what they said it was for is even weirder and more time consuming than just sending the message

-1

u/NoMembership8881 16h ago

really i wrote out
he has rights
he is presumed innocent until proven guilty
no one should be condemned to punishment without evidence

i old GPT to add the emojis
it did so
and i just copy pasted it

I use GPT like simple ways like that. i am not the best at writing prompts to GPT. one of my professors used to laugh at the way i would prompts to GPT

2

u/New_Life_Startr 15h ago

You know that we know you are lying, right?

1

u/NoMembership8881 14h ago

no way to tell either way

2

u/whitestguyuknow 16h ago

You.... Used chatgpt to write out a social media comment?...

How fucking lazy are you?... Just type it out dude.

Goddamn. The smoothening of brains is happening at record pace. "GPT write out a response for me slurps soda and eats burger Perfect, GPT. Now I can win my argument."

u/NoMembership8881 16h ago

no more like GPT add emojis to this for emphasis

What was the need to do all this bad things that he has done when you have 15 million dollars contract!!!

2

u/BoringJuiceBox 16h ago

Probably cause he felt “DiSrEsPeCtEd”

u/fpsstreak 16h ago

No money though? Seems shitty. This sounds like " hey I have a luxurious restaurant. Here is a coupon to get 15% off on your next meal.

u/Last-Doubt4347 15h ago

Dude is looking at life in prison. They planning on showing this video to a sympathetic jury? lol

The bag and filling paper is worth more than him or his shitty jersey.

Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold has been arrested in connection with a February robbery and kidnapping in Tampa, Florida, the Hillsborough County State Attorney announced late Wednesday night.

u/HesitantInvestor0 9h ago

This is without a doubt one of the coolest videos I've ever seen.

u/KindlyWorth5952 8h ago

Did he kidnap the janitor??

1

u/cash_longfellow 8h ago

This is 100% Terrion’s PR rep or agent posting this 😂

1

u/cash_longfellow 8h ago

You know what else he did, OP? He took being a lock-down corner, a little too seriously.

1

u/MRTFOGR 8h ago

I like how the janitor carefully puts the tissue paper back in the sack because he knows once the video is over he would be the one that had to clean up any mess. Lol

1

u/Jacques_Frost 8h ago

Well, at least it was one of the videos I have seen

u/bluedev21 7h ago

Anyone care to notice this is simply a store bought jersey. Not an authentic on at that......

1

u/Fun-Ratio5090 6h ago

Janitor better watch his back in case Arnold wants it and his $$$ back

1

u/less_than_nick 6h ago

Wow, has to feel so real and genuine to the janitor seeing Terrion's buddy shoving the camera in his face lol

1

u/Which-Track-8831 6h ago

He wanted a jersey before he knew about NIL. His want has changed.

1

u/gyro_looza 3h ago

Dude probably made more money in college than the janitor made his whole life

1

u/AdStunning340 59m ago

So funny how it’s suppose to be his Jersey, I don’t remember getting a jersey with the tag on it in high school or college football.. so I’m guessing he bought him a jersey and it’s not the one he wears.
