Arian Foster was one of the most interesting players in the NFL throughout his nine-year career. It seems his recent retirement has given him more time to think about some important stuff…like if he would beat a wolf in a fight.
Foster can be a controversial figure, but his Twitter is among the most entertaining of professional athletes (although Joel Embiid might take the crown on this one). This latest wolf debate started when Foster tweeted he wants to go camping but is scared of wildlife. Then he started the debate:
i honestly think i can get a wolf 1 on 1 tho.

He seems to think a comparison between wolves and pitbulls is fair.
wolves don't scare me like that cuz in my neighborhood was a bunch of loose enraged pits. if he alone i think i can get him.

Foster's argument seems to hinge on the fact the wolves don't have opposable thumbs.
none of them have thumbs. https://t.co/zoyE5MhGWH

thumbs means i can grab him .he can't grab me. all he has is a mouth. grab his neck he can't bite. https://t.co/5s61cihKVb

Foster also seems to think that he is much, much smarter than the wolf.
if we run into each other in my head "oh yea it's on, wolf". he's jus like "what is this aggressive species threatening me."

i've studied the wolf. he can't read. i know his weaknesses. plus the thumb thing.

show me how the wolf in time of conflict analyzes exactly what part of the body is the weakest, determines how its the weakest, then attacks

Although, Foster's former teammate Duane Brown seems skeptical that Foster would be willing to fight a wolf.
Was scared to pet my silver lab 👇🏾

Arian Foster will probably keep the debate going as long as people keep tweeting him about it…or it'll reach into countless other deep debates and philosophical discussions.
