A recent tweet from an Ohio University student gained traction from locals Thursday regarding an email exchange after a flag football game.
Student Kyle Nagy posted a photo on Twitter Wednesday night saying: "EVERYBODY READ THIS: Email from the kid we beat 56-30 in flag football today...What a douche, it's flag football dude"

The email was sent from Josh Moore, claiming to be a retail fashion major, just before 10:40 p.m. Wednesday to fellow student Mason Miller. It was sent after Moore, the quarterback for his intramural team "Less is Moore" lost 56-30.
Moore told The Post in an email that he "lost a bet with some of his buddies and in return, I had to send a joke email to the kids we played."
Moore said he is not a retail fashion major and is actually a sophomore studying finance. He told The Post late Thursday that one of his friends wrote the content of the email.
"...It's a joke, because in all reality it is funny," he said in the email. "It was meant to be a joke between my friends."
The original email sent to Miller started on a positive note.
"You guys have some players, you really do. You played a heck of a game tonight," it read. "I was impressed with all of your receivers to be honest."
That's when the email took a darker turn.
"But you really think you guys have what it takes in flag football? This was game one and it was BS. I'll f--king wreck red shorts little troll a55. I was the Quarterback at Elder f--king High School. We didn't even have our full team yet you little chodes. You caught us on the wrong night but I can 100% guarantee you that won't happen again. Any f--king time and f--king place we'll play you, no gay little flag rules. Straight up hard nosed two hand touch street football you little p--ssies. I'll take your stuttering receivers a55 and put it in the f--king dirt. Best believe we'll go further than you in the playoffs. Forward this to the rest of your chumps too."
The email concluded:
"Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard,
Josh Moore #12
QB for Less is Moore IM Football
Elder Football Alum
Retail Fashion Major"
Elder High School — Moore's alma mater — is a parochial high school near Cincinnati.
Nagy, a teammate of Miller's, said there wasn't any confrontation between Miller and Moore on the playing field.
"During the game we got out to a pretty big lead and so they started getting pretty frustrated and complaining a lot," Nagy said. "It was mostly towards the referees, there wasn't too much trash talking or anything like that between our teams."
Miller responded to the email saying "LOL..haters gonna hate."
