Cliffs: - Fan of college football team Iowa State raises about $1 million because of a gameday sign plugging his venmo asking for beer money. He decides to donate it to children's hospital - Iowa paper decides to do a piece on him. For some reason a journalist for the paper dug through this guy's old tweets and found some offensive comments from 7 years ago when the guy was 16 years old. Journalist decides to release them - Guy who raised the money apologizes, the beer company who pledged to match this guy's donation decides to back out of it because of the old tweets - some people decided to dig up old tweets of the journalist who released the venmo guy's old tweets, and this journalist has even more offensive stuff in his tweet history. - journalist locks his account, beer company deletes old tweets and damage controls by saying they'll match the donations again. Local Iowa paper now investigating their journalist, will probably be out of a job Tl:dr twitter was a mistake --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

King held a press conference Tuesday night to address the tweet. In a statement, he said:
It was just 10 days ago that I was a guy in the crowd holding a sign looking for beer money on ESPN Game Day.King released an additional statement addressing the role the Des Moines Register had in discovering the tweet. The statement said: "The Des Moines Register has been nothing but kind in all of their coverage, and I appreciate the reporter pointing out the post to me. I want everyone to understand that this was my decision to publicly address the posts and apologize. I believe that is the right thing to do." https://whotv.com/2019/09/24/carson-king-apologizes-after-hurtful-and-embarrassing-tweet-surfaces/ friendbuddypal posted...

Unless they're trying to save face, the paper said it has a policy to do these kinds of "background" checks and it kinda makes sense. Too bad in this case because all the dude did apparently was quote Daniel Tosh
But yeah this is why you keep your shitposting to somewhat anonymous sources or at least make it hard for people to trace it back to you. I never understood the people who act like a CEman on Twitter or Facebook with their faces and real name plastered right there. Even when I was being dumb about it and had a sig with info about my game service accounts, it was still not a direct link to my face and name (and gamefaqs archive for that time is riperonni :D). I usually find it hilarious when other dummies do it and it blows up in their face but not in this dude's case :/ --- Roll Tide & Go Irish ... Copied to Clipboard!

I agree with this to an extent. If his school or parents or job had discovered the tweet back when he made it, then it makes sense there would be appropriate consequences. But it makes no sense to bring it up 8 years later and drag him through the mud for quoting a tv show when he was 16. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
