The Amiens Spartiates, a football team from France, announced on their Facebook page that Chad Johnson would be joining their team in 2015, but it was actually a hoax.

The Spartiates, of the Ligue Élite de Football Américain or LEFA, later posted that it was a joke, and it should have been obvious that Johnson would not be joining the team.

American International Football Review wrote an article saying Johnson would be leaving the Montreal Alouettes, of the Canadian Football League, to join the Spartiates citing the team’s Facebook post.

Upon hearing that the post was fake, they posted another article saying they were disappointed in the team’s post.

According to American Football International Review, “The information posted on a club’s Facebook page is typically accurate and factual. This time we were wrong.”
