Roger Goodell, NFL Twitter Hack and Death Hoax
The NFL's verified Twitter account was hacked to falsely report the death of Commissioner Roger Goodell at age 57. While major networks like CNN ran the story on their news tickers, ESPN’s Adam Schefter was able to debunk the report after speaking with the Commissioner’s deputies. Goodell later joked about the incident, saying it was "harsh" to be killed off by his own network while he was out golfing.
