Former NFL player Chad Johnson went viral on Saturday afternoon when he posted a conversation between him and his daughter.
In the text conversation, Johnson told his high school age daughter he wanted her to get a job after she asked him to take her to the mall so that he could buy her some shoes.
Johnson went to brag that he worked at McDonald’s for 6 hours a day in high school while playing football and “maintaining a 2.2 GPA.’

Johnson got immediately roasted by the Internet as “2.2 GPA” became one of the top trends on Twitter.
“Maintaining a 2.2 gpa” if anything you further proved her point https://t.co/518H510fQJ

Parenting is about teaching, not handing out, when I’m no longer here life ain’t giving you shit for free‼️
