The mean streets of Twitter are not for everyone. Kevin Durant recently learned this, as he was busted for using fake accounts to defend himself. Josh Allen didn't need to learn it, as he took a more preemptive strike.

If you're unaware of that entire Durant situation: Our unicorn of a basketball player, the likely future Naismith Hall of Fame Kevin Durant, decided to argue with trolls on Twitter by creating fake accounts. It wasn't a great look.

That's one extreme use of a social media platform. Here's the complete opposite.

Wyoming Cowboys gunslinger Josh Allen didn't want to deal with those trolls on Twitter, so he just deleted it before it became a problem.

“Those guys on Twitter aren’t making draft picks and putting together teams in the NFL,” Allen said to The AP. “All I really care about is respect from my teammates and my coaches here.”

This is going to prompt some pretty awful takes. People are going to ask about his mental toughness and all that jazz. I guess maybe it makes sense. After all, if he can't handle randoms on social media hurling him some shade, how will he handle 300-pound humanoids chasing him from behind?

I kid. Kevin Durant and Josh Allen, however, are not here for your kidding. They are not around for any of your jokes. One will sneak up on you with a fake account and the other has self-imposed a social media ban.

Allen was projected to be one of the three best quarterback prospects this season. Now, not so much.
