What type of miserable person do you have to be to spend a shit load of time looking for tweets made by an athlete when they were a kid?

Why didn't these players agents have someone look and delete these tweets by now?

While I agree with the sentiment, it doesn’t take much time at all to search for a username and a keyword.

You would think after Hader, everyone would have checked their timeline. Especially those who are prone to saying burrito.

Word on the mean Twitterverse streets is that Julies tweet over the weekend where she doesn’t have internet access in her remote Minnesota cabin and was looking forward to NOT being on twitter, about Randall Simon having his number retired for knocking out that poor soul during the sausage race has upset Brewers Twitter and some higher ups in the Brewers organization are taking a look at it and alerting the Cubs media that a woman who works for the flagship is promoting violence

I agree. That being said these are athletes and not politicians. Searching their accounts for crap they posted as a child is ridiculous.

I do not know all the identities but it seems a large portion of the tweet hunters are not the targets for lack of a better term of the slurs.

Not sure about absolving these guys for responsibility based on "they were just kids". If you're a 17-18 year arm with a 92+ MPH fastball, you've likely been scouted for a couple years already and are keenly aware that you're within a year or two of cashing a MiLB paycheck + draft bonus money. Not like they woke up as a 22 year old surprised to be pitching for a pro franchise. In the case of a lefty like Hader, chances of at least getting a September call-up on a major league roster is virtually guaranteed (barring injury/losing their fastball/etc). I'd guess left-handed pitchers have the highest percentage of any position of making it to "the show", at least for a cup of coffee.

tl;dr if you have a left-handed son, put a baseball in their hand in the crib--and monitor their social media when they get older.

Come on! Expecting a kid not to do or say dumb shit is unreasonable even for those who may likely become millionaires. If all of us had to answer questions about things we did or said when we were in high school MANY of us would have problems.

Every team should hire an intern @ $15 an hour to review all tweets of players in your org. Problem solved.

It's incredible. Nearly entire history of your interactions are being recorded now. Teens are replacing conversations with social media, and people are being held accountable for stupid things they said as a child. I don't know how anyone can think this is a fair way to judge people.

Honestly, it's not. The people that think it's a fair way to judge are the same hypocrites that have probably done and said stupid shit as well, and are okay piling on until they get called out for doing the same shit.

I'd put the onus as much on the adults in these future MLB players lives as on the players themselves. Maybe the scouting process, which begins ridiculously early nowadays, needs to include "YOU AND SOCIAL MEDIA: THINGS YOU CAN'T SAY AND STAY IN THE MAJORS UNLESS YOU HAVE A 0.77 WHIP/16K per 9/sub 2.00 ERA" (roughly Hader's numbers).

If Hader were a righty with 5.00+ ERA and crappy K to BB ratio, he'd have been DFA'd by morning.

I'm sure Parkins has been pitching a zipper bustin' tent in his Toughskins with a story like this topped off with Mac and his pulled vag muscle being off today.

Here are my official rulings

James Gunn: Went to the pedo joke waaay too many times. Deserves whatever he gets for being that unfunny

Hader: Kinda hateful, probably still hates. Suspend for rest of season. fuck the brewers

Trea Turner: Seemed like innocent jokes. Cased dismissed.

Sonny Gray: Inside joke checks out. Case dismissed.

flawed counterpoint, but i still must ask.... so how would this have gone if the tweets were about asians and the creator was a Caucasian named Sarah Smith? would the NYT stand by her and allow a satire excuse?

They're at it again. Today they're digging up stuff Kyler Murray posted at 14. I imagine all of us wouldn't like to be judged by things we said or did at 14.

This "article" is embarrassing, as are Sam Dunh and Barry McCockiner.

The first rule of Twitter? Never tweet.

That bit of advice would've served a 14-year-old Kyler Murray very, very well.

Sure, a lot has transpired since Murray was a young high schooler back in 2012. He emerged as a two-sport star, got selected in the first round of the MLB draft by the Oakland Athletics, took over for 2017 Heisman winner Baker Mayfield at the University of Oklahoma, ​and ended up winning the famous trophy himself tonight. But with that comes increased scrutiny, and some of his unfortunate throwback tweets is worth contextualizing and reckoning with.

@RealFakeSamDunn
Kyler Murray tweeted these in 2012. Really not great

If I was a betting man, I'd wager that Murray is thoroughly embarrassed about the sentiments he expresses here. I'd wager that he doesn't go through life using reckless, hateful language. I want that to be true, anyway.

And yet, here we are.

Murray would be smart to get out ahead of this tasteless series of episodes from six years ago and speak out as soon as possible about how wrong he knows this all was. What's done is done. At least clear the air going forward, big man.

​Oh, and congrats on the award.

I am actually surprised anyone keeps anything on Twitter for more than like a year. I don’t see the historic necessity for anything or anyone big or small. Should be an auto time based clean tool.
