this is crazy!!!! It was middle school.
Seriously?! This is absolutely ridiculous.
But we're still going to publish it in the hopes we sell a few more issues, plus we get to virtue signal.
And middle schoolers? 8th graders? Wow. That is an age when everyone is trying to fit in and find their place in a pack or herd. It’s still a form of mimicking the behavior and attitude of their peers or crowd or even perceived friends.
Kids are really stupid and impressionable at this age. They rapidly learn from lots of mistakes. They learn about social interaction, relationships, leadership.....
This is why the urban culture that some inner city kids grow up in is so damaging, especially when there is no guidance in the home. Instead of learning that certain behavior is unacceptable, hurtful or dangerous, it is encouraged, embraced and emulated. My son recently asked about the “C” word (he’s 11). He knew it was bad (based on context and reaction) and has never used it (allegedly). But wanted to know why it was bad. Inner city kids, in that thug culture, don’t have anyone to ask.
I posted a stupid tweet in 2012. It was pro-Romney.
Middle school! FRIGGIN’ MIDDLE SCHOOL!#!t’s sad that this pc pussy athlete didn’t have the self respect and intelligence to mock this leaker and tell him to go to hell.
I think even Social Media has reached Peak Rage.
We are about to enter the next stage, where very few people get judged about tweets from their childhood.
Sort of like the old Curtis Mayfield song;
“If There’s A Hell Below, We’re ALL Gonna Go!”
I agree. Unless part of a court-sanctioned legal inquiry, pre-18 records should be strictly off limits.
I know many states now have laws against asking for and using social media reviews as part of job application and interviews; probably need the same for colleges as part of admissions.
Just a few weeks ago, there was a teenager who lost a Wrestling Scholarship because somebody dug up something he once said about gays. Stupid and hypocritical. Some slurs are allowed.
“What is amazing is that the tweets of a 12 year old can come back to bite them, but nothing on the history of the 44th _resident can be found.”
GREAT point.
We can’t let the lefties win. They are really trying
It isn’t Pathetic at all.
The guy Apologizes and now he can get a Job on the NYT Editorial Board, right?
The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution. Drew Lock has to apologize and be giving re-education; Sarah Jeong is just fine.
I second that. This crap is very pathetic.
What does this mean? I don't know anyone who's afraid of faggots.
In Latin, it translates to afraid of men, but that's incorrect as well.
“This is going on your permanent record”...
Actually, if not squelched soon this is likely leading us in the direction of Mao-like cultural revolution, complete with forced wearing of dunce caps by teachers, re-education camps, public kowtowing, organized violence by the young against older generations, and more.
He also apologized for crapping his very last diaper.
Drew Lock has the unfortunate handicap of being white in an increasingly minority supremacist culture.
Lynch Him!

If the guy used the wrong sequence to tighten lug nuts after getting a flat tire and putting the spare on, he would have been hung out to dry at that school.
I’m not sure, exactly, what he was expecting, given the recent history there - they are not about to let a WHITE GUY be QB, no way.
Do they only do this to white athletes?
