In fairness to Hader, the "suck my cock, I'll murder your family!" tweet is a quote from the hilarious Will Ferrell flick Semi-Pro, which Farrell's character yells at the referee/reverend after a bogus foul call.

Was shocked at how fair this article was.

 

Was not shocked that the crazy people of baseball twitter have descended on Jon Heyman trying to get him fired including people who podcast here at the Harball Times about this.

 

Did that legit happen? If so this world suxxxxxxx...*smh*

tb.25 is pretty crazy too:

 

On a slightly unrelated note:

 

If rap lyrics, left without citation, are this offensive, should they even be published? It’s disgusting that songs with lyrics like these are out there, let alone popular, especially amongst age groups who are easily influenced, still developing and are discovering how they are as people (teens).

 

Edit: I don’t think people get my comment. The point is that if lyrics out of context are this offensive, they shouldn’t be published in the first place, not that some crazy reality-tv parents should control their kids’ music because ‘a song has a bad word in it’…

People are downvoting me

 

It's not that I'm an authoritarian crazy person, it's that they must not understand.

 

They understand, dude. Your clarification drove that home.

That's it, I'm going to write/record a pop rock song with incredibly offensive lyrics and upload it somewhere...

You don't even need to cuss. Just sing about 'forgiving Hader, how you agree with the Cubs fan keeping the ball...that Roberto Osuna should be given the benefit of the doubt until the trial, and how James Gunn shouldn't have been fired from Guardians of the Galaxy just for making jokes in poor taste...they were just jokes.' Twitter will spontaneously combust.

Part of the issue is Small Sample Sizes. There really aren't that many who ever attacked Hader, there aren't that many people who defended Hader, there aren't even that many who stood and applauded Hader. But some people use phrases like "Twitter attacked him", "Liberals attacked him like he was Hitler", Old White men stand up for him. And suddenly the attacks and support seem that much greater. In the end most people don't support the tweets, nor do they think he should shot and killed...or even suspended.

There's nothing he can be suspended for regardless. MLB has no recourse to discipline someone for something he did when he wasn't an MLB player.
