Poulter V. British Airways Prompts Angry Mob!

/

Claire Duffin of the Telegraph reports Ian Poulter's disdain for British Airways and the backlash received from Twitter followers not feeling sorry for the plight of someone in the Poulter clan that didn't get their business class seat:

Duffin writes of Poulter's social media battle taking place before his PGA Championship second round where he is desperately in need of a strong finish to ensure a 2014 Ryder Cup appearance:

His comments provoked an angry reaction from some users of the social networking site.

Many accused him of being out of touch, highlighting the fact that his Twitter profile picture was of six sports cars parked outside his multi-million pound Florida home.

Joe Walker said on Twitter: “some single mums aren't lucky enough to have a nanny. Or fly business class [sic].”

Rav Garcha said: “Clearly not good from BA but welcome to the lives of the majority who can't afford a nanny! [sic]”

You can get a flavor of the feedback here, assuming you have nothing else to do tonight.

And Poulter Tweeted this photo of his caddie's attempt to inspire a long tee ball off the first.
