NFL star LeSean McCoy sent the creepiest party invite you’ll ever see

HE just wanted to go out with a bang, but this football star sent a party invitation so creepy not even his biggest fan would dare accept.

WHEN a football star invites you to a private party, it’s supposed to be pretty cool. LeSean McCoy is the exception to that.

The star NFL running back, who was recently traded from Philadelphia to the Buffalo Bills, sent out party invites this morning to a private celebration he is hosting for “women only”.

Your creep-detector should be ringing already, but it gets much worse.

The 27-year-old wanted to host one final bash before he has to report for pre-season training next week in New York.

The man considered one of the best running backs in the NFL sent out invites to his “private event celebration” on his personal Instagram account.

The invite stresses all “female only” guests must be over the age of 21 for the party on July 26 in his former home town of Philadelphia.

The invite also provided an email address — shadymccoyprivateevent@gmail.com — for interested partygoers to RSVP.

That’s when things got weird.

Anyone who sent an email expressing interest received a reply which asked keen socialites to send their full name — so it can be checked against their driver’s license at the door — a picture of themselves, a link to a social media account and sign a non-disclosure agreement upon entering the party.

On top of that, successful applicants were not told where the party would be held and were told no plus-ones would be issued.

McCoy’s invites were met with some concern from his fans on Twitter, particularly the small issue of the confidentiality agreement.

McCoy has deleted the posts on Instagram, but his real problem is with his new team.

McCoy was given a whack on the knuckles for using the team’s official logo on his invite without the team’s approval.

“We have reached out to LeSean and informed him that players are not permitted to use team marks for personal use without prior permission from the team,” a statement released by the Bills read.
