Redblacks' Damaso Munoz called Grey Cup trip, team Twitter bugs Ticats with it

The Ottawa Redblacks' 35-28 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in Sunday's East Final sent Ottawa to the city's first Grey Cup appearance since 1981, but it also created plenty of heartbreak for the Ticats, who were oh-so-close until a final-minute 93-yard TD from Greg Ellingson. The Redblacks' official Twitter account added to that heartbreak for at least some Hamilton fans in the wake of the loss, nicely spotlighting a predictive tweet from linebacker Damaso Munoz (who said the team would be heading back to Winnipeg for the Grey Cup following a 27-20 Oct. 24 win over the Bombers), but doing so by tagging the Ticats' account in a way that seemed at to be at least a little insensitive:

The Ticats took the high road in response:

But at least some fans weren't thrilled:

From this corner, this isn't a huge deal, and the Redblacks' friendly taunting of rivals has produced good results before. Still, this one seems a little too far, and it's not like there's even a real connection; yes, Hamilton represented the East in the last two Grey Cups, but neither was in Winnipeg. The takeaway shouldn't be that the Redblacks need to become more buttoned-up in general; their social media presence is generally great, and it's led to a lot of success for them. This particular tweet was probably unnecessary, though (the tweet itself would have been fine if it was promoting Munoz's comments, but tagging the Ticats felt like rubbing the win in). The Redblacks' follow-up congratulations were better, and probably more reflective of what the reaction after a win should ideally be. Again, not a huge problem, but something they might want to do differently going forward.
