Here we go again.

Sean Newcomb busted for tweeting gay slurs 6+ years ago.

This is his own fault for being an idiot, but it definitely looks like whoever brought it up was sitting on it until it was timely and a near no hitter got him in the news.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Kid's from New England, so no real surprises here.

But seriously, i wish the Braves didn't make him apologize. I wish they would have told him to go to the podium and tell whoever took the time to dig up tweets from 7 years ago when he was a teen to either get a life or go kill themselves.

His fault for posting them as a dumb teen, and his fault for not deleting them after all this time, but it's a shame he has to cave into PC culture and apologize for stupid shit like this right after by far his best game in the Majors.

 

[SteelersPride]

Should be smart

He should have been cleaning those up the second all that stuff about Hader came out.

And unfortunately, the PC Culture is here to stay. So he had to apologize or both he and the Braves would risk be losing a lot in endorsements. The apology was the only way to go.

I used to use that word plenty when I was younger and I never had consequences. I grew up, stopped using it on my own and people aren't bringing up 15 years ago. But I'm not a pro athlete and I didn't put them on social media.

It's definitely on him for not taking care of it.

 

[The Q]

The fact that is an issue shows how weak and pathetic we are as a society

 

[podsox]

I wonder what gay dudes on braves roster will stand behind him when he gives his presser

 

[navamind]

John Rocker would be proud.

I'm a little suspicious about Ozzie and Acuna. They're both pretty flamboyant and get pedicures. But if they can play ball, I don't care.

He would tell the media to blow him. He was a crazy mofo

With the big time overreaction to some of Joe Simpson's comments regarding what the Dodgers were wearing at BP yesterday, I wish they would pair Joe with John Rocker with no censorship to call the games.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Me and My best friends all called each other faggots as teenagers. But that was early 90's so times are different. He should apologize and that be the end of it. At least he wasnt like Hader using the N word that ends in "er"

Kids say stupid stuff all the time .... the only one I know that has successfully deleted stuff is Hillary Clinton.

I always laughed when he would give it back to the Mets fans. Them mother fuckers would throw Batteries at him.

@Nosferatu

Has similar suspicions about the twins Hispanics

 

[tducey]

We all stay stupid things while we're young, still given the era we're in today the guy should apologize and move on we never hear anything more about it.

I always wondered who carries batteries around with them

 

[Ojb81]

That faggot didn't even spell "faggot" correctly. He should apologize for that

 

[podsox]

Breaking news: high schools guys are immature dicks.

 

[navamind]

I'm just amazed that agents never thought to think about the players' social media accounts and possible deleting anything that could spark controversy.

This is just getting really petty though. People say stupid shit at ages 17-18. In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue.
