but she still wants his tickets to the Super Bowl!
not a sports thread, a human interest tale for the Den.
Jason Elia spent $8,000 for two tickets to Sunday's Super Bowl and was going to take his football-loving girlfriend.
But she broke up with him first. The reason? He has cancer.
Elia said that his girlfriend "could not handle the stress of having a boyfriend with cancer."
Now, she wants the tickets back, because he intended them to be for her.
Instead, Elia is going to give them away. He appeared on ESPN 97.5 in Houston and said he would give the tickets to whomever helps him get the most followers on Twitter.
Using #WinMyExsSuperBowlTickets, he has gained thousands of followers on his Twitter account so far.
He said it's not about revenge, but because he "wants to give someone the same enjoyment that he thought he was going to get with someone he loved."
The good news for Elia, he has an 87 percent chance of survival and has close to 10,000 followers on Twitter.
