HOAX: Chad Johnson Headed to France to Play in 2015 – (Fake Story!)
The announcement by the Amiens Spartiates of the French second division that they had signed six-time NFL Pro Bowl receiver Chad Johnson for the 2015 season is fake, by the club’s own admission. The story appeared on the Spartiates Facebook page.
The information posted on a club’s Facebook page is typically accurate and factual. This time we were wrong.

We are sorry.
