Randall's jersey promise on cusp of Twitter history
Not only did Damarious Randall's jersey tweet go viral, it's quickly become one of the most retweeted items ever and is now on the verge of Twitter history.
On Monday night, the Cleveland Browns defensive back pledged to buy a jersey for everyone who retweeted his post if the Cleveland Cavaliers defeat the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.
Less than 60 hours later, the message is already among the 10-most retweeted posts of all time, and is close to becoming the ninth tweet ever to earn 1 million retweets, according to an unofficial list on Wikipedia. (Twitter doesn't display an official list of the most retweeted posts.)
If the Cleveland Cavaliers win the 2018 NBA finals I’ll buy everyone who retweet’s this a jersey...
