Cacs just keep cacing: MLB Braves Sean NEWCOMB, Trea TURNER FACE FALLOUT AFTER racist TWEETS

[playahaitian]

TWEET TROUBLE



Atlanta pitcher Sean Newcomb and Washington shortstop Trea Turner will face the fallout from their tweets, a day after they apologized for offensive posts from 2011 and 2012.

The 25-year-old Newcomb came within one strike of a no-hitter Sunday at SunTrust Park against the Dodgers. Less than an hour later, after the racist, homophobic and sexist tweets came to light, he said he regretted his actions. Major League Baseball, which dealt with a similar situation involving Milwaukee reliever Josh Hader on the night he pitched in the All-Star Game, said it will determine a course of diversity training for Newcomb.

Homophobic and racially insensitive tweets by Turner surfaced Sunday night. The 25-year-old Turner apologized in a statement released by the team.

The Braves are home Monday night against Miami. The Nationals begin a home series against the New York Mets on Tuesday night.

Yikes. Interesting statement by the cobb county Braves

 

[dik cashmere]

They continue to show who they really are. Then try to disguise it as they are more mature now. Translation “I now know not to say that out loud.”

He will catch heat from the gays more than anything else.

They said "even though he was 18 or 19" like he's not considered a fucking adult

you know?

If this continues and gets anti Semitic and continued gay bashing or even more of the pedophile sh*t?

I could legit see twitter somehow become culpable here and they restrict usage to a certain age group.

The responses are so boilerplate it's disgusting. The same statement over and over, just change the name and team or business. And it's for a reason; people get inured to the same language again and again and start paying little attention to it after a while.
That is the real danger - that people stop being outraged at this shit.

Well....in Trae Turners defense.....I think all he did was make a gay joke from white chics. Not really nothing racist. Glaad gonna get in his ass though lol.

Nothing will happen to them because that's baseball culture...This is the same sport that allows pitchers to throw balls near an opponent head hurts because that opponent took their time around the bases or celebrated for hitting a homerun.

What if they come after a black athlete for a 'homophobic' or 'misogynist' post from 2009? Shit, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they pressure a team to apologize for a supposed racist tweet from a black athlete who was 16 at the time.

Fuck a racist, but people better start thinking big picture, because best believe what's considered offensive is expanding and so is the time period of going after people. We a few steps away from teams having to apologize for posts players made in middle school.

I wouldn't be surprised if they testing this shit out on baseball players just so they can come at NFL players for social media posts. Best believe trolls working over time going through NFL players twitters and got screenshots already. NFL got such a pussy union that they might end up fining people over shit they did before they came to the league. Then when NBA season starts, they up next.

Best believe they waiting to demonize black athletes for anything that's in the growing list of what's offensive.

IMHO is opposite is also true. What happens when people are outraged by EVERYTHING? In my mind it becomes a "boy who cried wolf" situation. Where-in people become desensitized to constant outrages to the point where it trivializes REAL issues. The sky is not always falling, but if you believe that, when I actually, is are you even going to notice?
SIDENOTE: IN NO WAY AM I CAPING FOR THIS DUDE. I'M NOT A BASEBALL FAN. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THESE SITUATIONS(ALONG WITH METOO) SEEM TO BE AN EVERYDAY NEWS ACCURENCE. FAKE OUTRAGE IS THE NEW THIRST TRAP. GREAT FOR RT'S, LIKES AND FOLLOWS BUT DOES IT REALLY HELP OR CHANGE ANYTHING?

with NO repercussions.

Was going to reply the same thing.
If they were about Jews, his ass would be meatloaf...

White people really get away with this shit.
