Robert Griffin III Sings Michael Jackson's Billie Jean on Instagram, Triggers Debate on The Proper Usage of Social Media

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin posted a video of himself on his Instagram page singing along to the 1982 Michael Jackson hit song, "Billie Jean." He unexpectedly got himself into "a back-and-forth with a fan that never turned nasty but did amplify views on Griffin's use of social media," according to a report by ESPN.

The fan who uses the Instagram handle @cperezrn wrote: "Why you weren't even mentioned as the future. You are a 'QB'. Act like one." He told another user, "He cares more about his brand, social media than working in his craft. After the 2016 seasons respond back to me if I am wrong. He will be cut by the Redskins after those years. Brees, Brady, Rodgers, Manning don't act this way. Very simple observation."

Griffin in response wrote back to @cperezn: "If giving back to the community and training for football at the same time is frowned upon.....then what would you say I do Sir? Not give back or Train? Honest Question. Oh wait...and should I not enjoy a classic song with others who Love MJ? I'm just asking for your wisdom here."

But @cperezn clarified: "It's about the image @rgiii. Whether or not you are training trying to get better it's all about how you present yourself. Your coach, owner doesn't want to see you present yourself in this matter. Think about it for a minute. You grew up in a military family. I am also a military man. Ask your father, mother it's how you present yourself."

Griffin asked: "And I'm presenting myself in a negative way by doing.....what exactly?" In his reply, @cperezn wrote: "Never said you were presenting yourself in a 'negative' way. Just seems that you care more about your social media, commercial's and brand than football. That's all bud. Good luck next year. @rgiii. Hope you prove your fans wrong." But Griffin countered: "And what or who makes it seem that way? The fans are the ones who support not the ones I have to prove wrong."

According to ESPN, Griffin ended the exchange by saying: "Military families have class, dignity & loyalty. I will maintain mine. You have not shown any of those. I will keep it that way and let you go right off my page God Bless."
