jaysguy44 Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Heyman had a similiar take and he's getting ripped for it: I wouldn't expect anything different from Liberals in 2018
Jonn Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 What a disaster night. Who the f*** tweets that first off than doesn’t delete them when he becomes an MLB player. I mean its going to become a new assignment for an agent to make sure the client doesn’t have disaster tweets. Hader went from the best reliever and Baseball an amazing story. To the biggest douche bag in about 3 hours. How people go back and find this s*** is amazing.
Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 I feel bad for the kid. People won’t just let him apologize and move on. I don't think they should either, but I also don't think he should be driven out of baseball for it. I'd feel bad for him if he was a few years younger, but at 17 you should have at least SOME clue as to the fact that what you say can have repercussions. It's not like it's just a handful of comments that are smelly, the stuff that's coming seems to be plentiful and downright disgusting. He needs to be penalized for it imo (whether that's MLB or his organization), but once he's served the penalty fans should also be willing to accept his apology and give him a second chance. What he does with it is up to him.

Jonn Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Hes going to delete his account and someone will steal his twitter handle anytime now.
Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Hes going to delete his account and someone will steal his twitter handle anytime now. How many account deletes would that make for him now?
Spanky__99 Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Heyman had a similiar take and he's getting ripped for it: Crazy... Lorenzo Cain just backed him on Main-Stream media... as BTS said sad that this is going to blow up, hopefully it blows over. Our society is so fragile.
jaysguy44 Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 You don’t even know what happened. Here we can visibly see how much of a s*** bag Hader is. You don’t get to say I hate gay people and move on with your life in 2018. This is going to follow him forever. Unlike Pillar’s slur which pretty much everyone has called someone a Faggot before is nothing compared to this, He actually said he hated them. I honestly don't really care, although he shouldn't have said it. He was 17 years old, 17. This is exactly how society is now a days, always offended by something. Was it harsh to say? Absolutely, should he be suspended for it? I don't believe so. I guess some people just have thicker skin than others.
King Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Author Posted July 18, 2018 I think as Abom said this goes beyond just being a few bad tweets. This is hundreds of downright racist, misogynistic, homophobic stuff, as recently as 2016. His girlfriend was outed as having a similar timeline.

I guess some people just have thicker skin than others. If he got suspended for something he did in High School that would be stupid. That has nothing to do with the Brewers or MLB. He deserves all the s*** coming his way though.

King Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Author Posted July 18, 2018 Where's the tweets from 2016? I don't have them on hand, everything is screenshots. You'd have to search for them. The worst ones were from 2011-2013. I believe some people are making fake ones as well. Trout facing the heat now!

Bobthe4th Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Yeah. It's easy for me given what I hear kids talk about these days. Kids think they know everything and have no clue what repercussions their actions or words can have on their futures. They don't even fully grasp that what they are saying is despicable. They just know it's funny to the people they are tweeting it out to. All pf us as teens have been through the stages where we listen to certain music, watch certain movies when we know our parents would murder us if they found out, but we do it anyways, because we think it's funny to be contrary. Kids can be told that the N word is s*****, but they all use it amongst themselves anyways regardless, because f*** anyone who tells me what to do. Rational adults should know this and be able to get past this, but of course the professional outragers will be out in full force. You just described 30% of this board, haha

jaysguy44 Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Lol, regardless of being a teenager, those are just not normal things for anyone to say, especially repeatedly. Blow it out your ass. What's considered normal now? "Normal" is subjective. Have you ever called someone a fag? What about queer? Is that normal to you? Blow it out of my ass? Because someone has a different opinion than you? Got it.

Is that normal to you? Blow it out of my ass? Because someone has a different opinion than you? Got it. No, because you bring up the tiresome "have a thick skin" silliness for the indefensible. "Normal" is not riling off dozens of tweets with racial slurs (everyone knows the N-word with "ger" at the end is different in context than "ga"), homophobia, sexism, etc. I'm sure sometime in the past I probably used "fag" as an insult without knowing the whole story because I was ignorant and 13 years old, but I sure as hell never said I hated gay people.
jaysguy44 Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 No, because you bring up the tiresome "have a thick skin" silliness for the indefensible. My bad man. I hope I didn't offend you
Grant77 Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 It boggles my mind that professional athletes even have twitter accounts. Nothing but bad things can come from it.
thatoneguy Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 It boggles my mind that professional athletes even have twitter accounts. Nothing but bad things can come from it. ...well if you're not a raging *******, nothing bad has to come of it...
Grant77 Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 ...well if you're not a raging *******, nothing bad has to come of it... I've seen plenty of off the cuff comments from good people get blown out of proportion. It's just a bad idea for athletes. The ones who don't use it have very smart people around them.
Jonn Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 I love twitter. As long as you aren’t a f***ing idiot awesome. But it can be potentially even more fun when idiots exist.
Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 This is unsurprisingly common. Not to the extent of Hader obviously. But you can search almost any prospect or young player and they'll have tweets calling people gay or nigga. SRF is one. It's a shitstorm waiting to happen. Agents should be deleting these tweets ASAP. I bet pretty much every player, majors and minors, in every sport are searching through their Twitter accounts right now.
King Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Author Posted July 18, 2018 I bet pretty much every player, majors and minors, in every sport are searching through their Twitter accounts right now. All you have to do is going to the search bar and type your username and then a keyword. It takes seconds, and anyone can retweet them if your account isnt private. I won't do that obviously but there's hundreds of minor leaguers, probably major leaguers calling people niggers or fags.
King Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Author Posted July 18, 2018 It's unbelievably easy to find these tweets. I can't believe players don't get outed more often. Anyone who hasn't deleted their personal garbage an idiot.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 I don't think they should either, but I also don't think he should be driven out of baseball for it.

What he does with it is up to him. Penalized? For what? Saying s***** things while not under the employ of anyone and while he was still a minor? It's interesting that Torii Hunter hated gays his entire career and never faced any backlash. People need to stop being the morality police. Hader didn't hurt anyone, just said a few s***** things. Who gives a s***?
BTS Community Moderator Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Penalized? For what? Saying s***** things while not under the employ of anyone and while he was still a minor? It's interesting that Torii Hunter hated gays his entire career and never faced any backlash. People need to stop being the morality police. Hader didn't hurt anyone, just said a few s***** things. Who gives a s***? You should check Twitter. People are almost gleeful about the opportunity to tear down a successful person because of stupid things he said when he was 17. A bunch of ‘he’s done’ and ‘there’s no coming back from this’ tweets. It’s socially acceptable bullying.
Bobthe4th Old-Timey Member Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 My God f***ing twitter, lol. You'd think the MLB teams would give basic social media training to its players. This could have been avoided by him starting a new twitter account when he became a professional.
