Girlfriend dumps man for having cancer, still wants Super Bowl tickets

Posted by Michael

Usually when somebody is diagnosed with cancer you’re supposed to console them, not kick them to the curb. But for a television writer from Nashville who went through the trouble of purchasing Super Bowl tickets as a way to propose to his girlfriend, cancer was only the start of his problems.

Upon being diagnosed with bladder cancer, Jason Elia decided to notify his girlfriend of the bad news. Instead of being there for him during such a difficult time, she dumped him on the spot, saying she couldn’t be with a man who was stricken with cancer.

Now, she’s claiming that Elia owes her the Super Bowl tickets considering he purchased them with her in mind. Instead, Elia is auctioning the tickets to the person who gains him the most Twitter followers by the end of Sunday’s Pro Bowl.

If you’d like to enter the contest, make sure to be creative. As of 12:00 p.m. Sunday, “webcam girl” has sent approximately 250 followers Jason’s way by promising five minute shows to anyone who follows Jason’s Twitter account: @notjasonelia.
