The 20 Most Ratchet Athletes on Twitter

Everything is ratchet these days. It has replaced ghetto as the word of choice when describing reckless behavior. Many athletes lead ratchet lifestyles and it often shows in their Twitter feeds. Some of these guys are too real for TV. Take Delonte West for example. While watching an ESPN 30 for 30 documentary on athletes that go broke, he took to Twitter and shared his thoughts, saying he counted "2 mil in 2 dollar bills before I turned 21." He also likes Ciroc with his eggs. That's the type of ratchet behavior we know and love.

Darnell Dockett is another perfect example. He tweets dirty jokes and pictures of big ass guns. Then you have guys like Chad Johnson and JR Smith that interact with fans through their feed, but every now and again slip up and do something controversial. There's also cats like DeSean Jackson and Stephen Jackson that don't have ratchet Twitters as much as they live a ratchet life. Both guys want to rap and do things off the field that makes one scratch their head. Check out The 20 Most Ratchet Athletes on Twitter.

Pat's just your regular idiot kicker talking up a storm on Twitter. OK, he's not an idiot, but he does play for the Colts. He speaks his mind and sometimes goes too far. Pat talks about dropping dueces and herpes. And when he's not on Twitter he likes to take drunken swims in the middle of Indianapolis.

Floyd talks a lot of shit on Twitter. He also likes to remind us how poor we are when he posts pics of his betting slips and his wads of money. Not to mention he drops 50 stacks on aight strippers. That's cool and all but just make sure you don't end up on this list, Floyd.

To be fair, DeSean has toned the ratchetness down quite a bit. He's even less ratchet on the field. A few months back he posted a little photo shoot of him proudly wearing his Galaxy Foams, although kids were getting stabbed over them. He also wants to be a rapper so bad he owes a jeweler money. You know it's serious when dude has to stalk your Twitter for his money.

Chris Johnson has no remorse for fans that get at him on Twitter. He also listens to ratchet music and named his dog swagie or at least thought about it. His lack of production hasn't stopped him from tweeting either. C'mon, son. Your fantasy owners (those who've yet to drop you) are still waiting for that first TD.

Captain Jack doesn't tweet out reckless things, he just leads a ratchet lifestyle. From rapping hooks about kush to the red star in his avatar, Jackson is clearly about that life. His Twitter feed is ratchet by association. He can actually rap, too. That's more than we can say for a lot ballers.

Last month Chad Johnson took a pic of Evelyn Lozada's face tatted on his leg in the aftermath of his domestic violence dispute and made it his Twitter avatar. Prior to all of last month's drama, Chad's feed had a bit more of a lighthearted feel. Well, a divorce, assault charges, and losing your job in a matter of days will do that to ya.

Rampage doesn't sell us short on his Twitter page. His feed is proof positive that he's Rampage 24/7. He calls fans pussies and loves him some white girls. And he's a fan of tweeting while drunk. We all know that's never the right thing to do.

Tony Allen gives no fucks about the grammar police. He can care less for autocorrect. By the looks of his feed, you would think he's just a regular guy from the hood and not a millionaire. But, who are we to judge? Plus, we like that he's always excited and invented his own Twitter language. He's like the E-40 of that shit.

Any dude that gets topped off while on a video chat site is automatically ratchet. He's just disrespecting redheads and calling folks schmucks first thing in the morning. No biggie.

One look at his Twitter handle and you already know Mr. Bissonnette would earn a spot on this list. The fact that he backs it up with classic tweets like the ones featured above definitely makes him worthy of following. He's the epitome of a social media sports douchebag but his 300K followers love him for it. Oh, and we're in the midst of a NHL lockout? #lordhelpus

JaVale looks ratchet, plays ratchet, tweets ratchet. He just an all-around ratchet kind of guy. He also recently started adding RT in front of his tweets which is kind of annoying. From the looks of his feed there's no telling what is going through this dude's mind. He shouldn't be allowed to use Twitter until he gets his shit together on the court. We're predicting David Stern will hand down some hefty Twitter-related fines to McGee and a few other ballers this coming season.

Do we really need to fill this space in? Ain't shit change but the name.

This dude is out of his mind. He just spews out random craziness like it's normal. There's no way a man with these thoughts in his head should be allowed to fight. Remember that whenever you decide to pull "a Forrest."

JR will forever be in the Twitter Hall of Fame for his tweet of Tahiry's fine ass. That's the gift that keeps on giving. He's calmed down since then, but he still hollas at groupies and retweets things pro athletes would think twice about. #koldgame

What's more ratchet than posting pics of actual ratchets? Darnell has no filter. He tweets what he's thinking and we love him for it. But sometimes he does go too far. We sure ain't telling him to his face though.

Wrestling is a sport! And the Iron Sheik is the shit on Twitter. He tweets like he talks and all of his shit is NSFW. He stays calling out Canseco and even got offended by Pusha using Ric Flair samples.

Handle: @JoseCanseco

Canseco is a weird dude. People tolerate him because his snitching helped clean up (for the most part) major league baseball, but a lot of folks don't like the way he went about it. On Twitter, he's annoying yet endearing. We follow him just to see the next crazy thing he tweets out. Always remember haters, Jose completes you.

Rich Ohrnberger is a vulgar motherfucker (he would appreciate that). His Twitter feed is just plain weird. He's even too weird for the Workaholics. Twitter, the only place where an offensive guard for the Cardinals can seem somewhat releveant. #justsayin' #noshots

Delonte is the realest athlete on Twitter. He let's us in on his inner most thoughts and even gives us cooking tips. When he went off on how he's been treated since being labeled crazy, he put himself in Twitter jail and it made us sad. West is one of those guys you root for.

Handle: @LoMoMarlins

Easily the ratchetest (new word) athlete on this list. He's vulgar and if you feel like trolling, he'll troll harder than you. Do not fuck with LoMo. And definitely don't tell him that he sucks (even though he kinda does). Is it a surprise that he plays in Florida, the ratchet capital of the world?
