Evan Fournier had a brutal way of introducing himself to the Boston Celtics fanbase after the team acquired him in a trade on Thursday. The guard asked Celtics fans to Google his last name.
Now wait! There’s a catch!
Before you leave this article to do what Fournier asked, I’ll make it clear: he’s trolling you. If you google “Fournier,” the search engine will inform you about “Fournier Gangrene,” an acute necrotic infection of male genitalia.
This is how he earned the nickname, “Don’t Google.” So, yeah, DO NOT google it. Although, I must point out that it’s sort of fitting, because the Celtics fanbase is “Gang Green” and Fournier’s last name also means gangrene — but I digress into dad jokes. Here’s the tweet.
Hi @celtics fans,
If you're not familiar with me, please Google my last name.
You're welcome.

And here’s how Celtics fans reacted on Twitter.
A MEDICAL JOKE?! OK…this is my guy.

Why would you try to do that to us? We’re trying to get off on the right foot here.

Honestly, I’m shocked more fans weren’t angry. They were surprisingly hospitable to Fournier’s prank.
