Twitterati trolled Anadita Patel to instant notoriety for her faux pas on Muhammad Ali and kept laughing to the point of making her disappear. Here's how the drama unfolded...
Knockout punch? First Anadita Patel broke the internet, then it broke her
It is a sad commentary of times that sometimes we laugh so hard on someone’s faux pas that it makes them cry. People nowadays can troll somebody to the breaking point.
On Saturday, the ‘GOAT’ – ‘Greatest of all Time’ boxer Muhammad Ali passed away and people across the planet were mourning his loss. A Twitter user in India, Anadita Patel, looking to join the bandwagon posted, “RIP Mohammad Ali. The greatest footballer of all time better than Maradona, Messi and Ronaldo.”

Muhammad Ali
Now, leave aside the spelling mistake and grammatical error in the post, her deciding to name Ali the “greatest footballer of all time” got her instant notoriety.
People started making fun of her and trolling her after her tweet went viral. She responded with an apology.
Greatest Boxer of All Time.#MuhammadAli #RIP

Ms Patel broke the internet. Websites did articles on her
But trolling on social media can be like a runaway train – once it starts something, it as if the brakes have failed. Collision is inevitable.
And that’s what happened.
After her 15 minutes of fame (infamy actually), she disappeared. She deleted her Twitter account.
Gosh! @anadita_patel deactivated her account. ðÂÂÂu00c2u009fÂÂÂu00c2u0098ÂÂÂu00c2u0082ðÂÂÂu00c2u009fÂÂÂu00c2u0098ÂÂÂu00c2u0082ðÂÂÂu00c2u009fÂÂÂu00c2u0098ÂÂÂu00c2u0082 pic.twitter.com/k1tAJQ5SBH

It was just her misfortune that her tweet went viral and no that of someone else who had made a mistake. Take for example this one which has the image of Samuel L Jackson while paying homage to Ali.

And social media while having a field day over Kerala Industry and Sports Minister EP Jayarajan’s obituary reference on the late boxing legend never flayed him to the point of resignation.
Senior CPI-M leader, Jayarajan by virtue of being the new sports minister, was asked by a TV channel in Thiruvananthapuram for his reaction to the death of Ali. He said, "Ali was an eminent sports personality of Kerala and is one who has won a gold medal thereby raising Kerala's position in the world."

Anadita Patel's is probably right and Muhammad Ali was the greatest footballer of all time. He got into boxing because of parental pressure

Anadita Patel calls Muhammad Ali a footballer and everyone goes nuts. This, in a country where a man with an IQ of 12 has been elected PM.
