Former Arsenal and Liverpool player Jermaine Pennant really doesn't understand Brexit

Not doing much for the footballer stereotype.

FOOTBALLERS AREN’T EXACTLY known for being the smartest.

Certainly, some are opinionated, intelligent and articulate.

But then others fall straight back to the stereotype with a simple but damning mis-step.

Like Jermaine Pennant.

With the massive news this morning that the UK has voted to leave the European Union, the slightly confused former Arsenal and Liverpool winger (who now plays in Singapore) took to Twitter to pose a question.

Pennant

After being inundated with an inevitable sweep of responses (you can probably guess the tone), Pennant deleted the tweet and tried to convince everyone that he was only playing around.

“This is jokes”, he later stated.

Quite.

    This is obviously a joke I mean it’s not as if it came from a guy who forgot he left his car at the airport!
