Chris Girardi surprised the Sixers dancer by proposing to her during Friday's game

Sure enough, Girard got on one knee, Murtha said yes, and the now-engaged couple shared a kiss.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}As the engagement went viral into the night, the trolls came out against Girard.
Sure, Girard may not have the looks or build of, say, Zac Efron, but that didn't stop social media from blasting him viciously.
One Twitter user joked that the engagement was part of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and another asked whether Girard donated his kidney to the dancer.

But at the end of the day, it all sounded like jealousy, and Girard knows he's winning.

"DEAR COMMENT SECTION: I KNOW SHE’S OUT OF MY LEAGUE. I AM JUST HAPPY TO BE HERE," he tweeted afterward.
"Thank god I'm funny," he said in another tweet.
