It's getting harder and harder these days to be an avowed homophobic and/or racist idiot.

Pretty hard to imagine a stadium full of sports fans actually caring about a player being homophobic and racist. Once the history books finally get updated past 1970 things are going to be awfully interesting to read about.

Another example why people should just delete their Twitter accounts or posts. That Star Wars director is smart for purging his tweets.

That's wise, and a possible solution to a point. Some stuff that's been archived may be beyond your reach.

The best practice though would be to treat all of your online interactions as though anyone could read them, because with the internet's infinite memory, they could.

Considering that he broke down in tears during his apology... I really doubt he was just trolling.

Josh Hader, who cried during meeting with players and apologized, says that meeting went well with his teammates. The road will be tough, his teammates say, knowing it could be a long time before this goes away.

I suppose he was a teenager at the time, the tweets were 6-7 years old & people are capable of growing & learning from their mistakes.

But at the same time... those tweets were pretty yikes.

Or just not use social media in the first place. It is not worth the risk as social media is only good for getting people fired these days.

Jeez this all happened years ago while the guy was a teenager...
Neither side is right in this case in my opinion. Posting hateful crap online is wrong, but ignoring it for years and years before attacking the guy for it isn't any better..

I wonder if James Gunn would get the same treatment if he showed up at a comic convention. At least this guy has the excuse that he was a teenager 8 years ago, whereas Gunn was 40 at the time of his posts.

Wasn't he posting lyrics or do I remember this wrong? Either way I had way different opinions as a teen than I do now. It's called growing up. Giving this dude shit for stuff he posted in HS 7 years ago is idiotic.

Meanwhile, the fuckers in Milwaukee applauded the guy. Not a shocker considering that they also like the human pile of garbage that is Ryan Braun.

I'm not saying that a guy should be out of a job for what he said years ago, but for literally the first reaction to seeing a guy play after news of him making homophobic comments was made public is wild applause? That's a higher level of stupid.

This. Josh Hader definitely deserves a one-time reaction like this at some point for the things he said, but I hope it isn't a sustained thing where fans keep booing him over and over and reminding him of the mistake he made as a young and naive teenager. He's already apologized to his teammates and the media for the tweets, deleted them, and the league already said he'll have to attend sensitivity training. Between that and this (hopefully one-time) reaction, he's already taken his lumps and is still standing.

Now we should just let the kid go on with his life.

We all did dumb things as teenagers. Maybe it wasnt post offensive things on Twitter but im sure theres something out there that would embarrass everyone

I have no reason based on his reaction to this and his teammates response to believe he actually thinks the things he posted years ago. It seems clear to me he was just saying stuff for shock value

I'm talking more about how these type of people very selectively bring up shit from the past while sweeping other stuff under the rug.

People need to stop crying about people saying bad shit because anyone with a brain knows they're hypocrites from the very beginning.

The only person that's not going to be okay is the guy who is being booed and who is crying from guilt and the backlash.

His career will always be tainted by his predicament.

I have a hard time being outraged at this guy. He was literally a kid when he made those tweets. Yeah, being a kid doesn't mean it's ok to be a jerk, but kids do a lot of stupid things that they regret later in life. Especially in terms of macho smack talk. Gonna need something a bit more recent to make me think this guy is the devil.

Uh huh. Because if there's any group that loves the LGBT community, it's young black men. Young black men never talk shit about gay people. Never, ever... <_<

do you have any example, of an athlete of color in recent memory posting this type of stuff to social media? feeling comfortable being this intentionally provacative is text book privilege. he doesn't have to worry or explain himself. he can just blame it on being a dumb kid. its bogus
