TB Rays on Twitter: ‘Opening Day a Great Day to Arrest Breonna Taylor Killers’

Ya gotta feel for the Tampa Bay Rays. Imagine having your Twitter account hacked by political extremists on Opening Day? You’re trying to gin up enthusiasm in a fan base that couldn’t come to your (craptastic) ballpark if they wanted to, and some basement Bolshevik is posting Black Lives Matter propaganda on your twitter feed.

That is what happened, isn’t it …?

At 8AM July 24, the Rays tweeted “Today is Opening Day, which means it's a great day to arrest the killers of Breonna Taylor.” Taylor was a black woman who was shot to death by Louisville, KY police in March. An investigation is ongoing and thus far the officers haven’t been arrested. What that has to do with the Tampa Bay MLB franchise or Opening Day is anybody’s guess.

I’m no big Twitter user, but please correct my understanding.

Don’t you need to be logged into twitter to tweet? How does a hacker hack into an account?

Seems to me likely a Tampa bay inside job, where someone got a hold of the password, or a device logged onto twitter was lying around the TB office, and an employee or press or even the janitor decided to have some fun.

Much less likely is some outsider guessing the password, or even more unlikely, perhaps LEAST likely, is a ‘hacker’ using some Twitter account loophole, heretofore unknown to Twitter Software Engineering types.

>>I have seen none of the foolishness from PGA Tour golf or NHL Hockey. <<

That's right. It's time for us to take note.

She was hanging out with known drug offenders and got caught in the crossfire.

Abundantly clear, even from Wiki and the NYT. Why would you offer your pad as living quarters for a drug dealer? The consequences include a lot of enemies who are NOT policemen, such as other drug dealers; angry parents and relatives of your customers; and the usual menu of stupid games and the prizes that tend to go with them.

God rest her soul.

MLB is a BLM enabler.

If you support MLB you support Marxist, racist and violent BLM.

"(Posting the 1619 timeline and saying “Let’s unite for positive change” which is Marxist code)"

I caught that, too.

Unfortunately for these race-baiters, America didn't exist in 1619.

And whoever had slaves in 1619 were not doing it on behalf of "America".

Wonder if they took a look at what the slave trade was doing in SOUTH America.

The *vast* majority of slaves went there.

And they weren't taken there by evil white people, either.

I'm guessing the Spanish are responsible for a whole hell of a lot more slavery, since they conquered the continent, and Mexico.

I dug around a bit and found out that Fox is the one who will be doing it during a game this saturday.

Nope, won’t watch it.

Hmmm... All their logo stuff is probably being made by Chinese slave labor.

Any day would be a good day to arrest those guys. It’s flat out murder what they did. And disgusting that all indications are they’ll never face any punishment.

Everyone except the important ones, like the DA, and police chief.

I know nothing about about hockey except that they play on ice and skate around a lot.

This year, I will be a hockey fan. Have to ask my transplant neighbor from Michigan about the rules.

I've always considered Spaniards white.

African descendants in Latin America have fared far worse than those in the U.S.
