Critics Pounce On New Heisman Winner For Tweets When He Was 14

This is how freedom dies. Organized thugs pouncing on anyone who doesn't think properly. Remember, this isn't America anymore. You don't have the right to say anything or do anything the left feels isn't politically-correct:

The little guy in the middle won the Heisman, Kyler Murray

Kyler Murray won the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night, making him the second straight quarterback from Oklahoma to win college football’s most prestigious award.


Just hours after winning the award, though, several of his old homophobic tweets surfaced on Twitter.

Geeesh.

Now comes the requisite apology, which is half the problem.

I was a little shocked that he won. I felt the other two were better, and more NFL ready. But I sometimes wonder about this vote, because journalists are a large part of the voting block. It makes me a little suspicious that someone took the time to look that far back into his social media history to make an example of him.
It is possible that every time someone becomes a focus in the news, somebody is out there getting paid to make an example of them to further the progressive cause.

No point in trying for a Supreme Court appointment.

I hope your work finds out what you did at 8 years old and fires you.

Kids will be kids, but I guess the teacher was right a "permanent record "

Majority white News room gets wind that a gifted black man wins a prestigious award so their first thought is let's see what he did as a child that may be offensive and report on that instead.

That would be my fault if such a thing would ever occur. I wouldn’t blame others for my foolish actions. It’s called personal responsibility.

Everyone makes stupid comments at times but our past mistakes should not be a scarlet letter of shame that forever haunt us. If society stops this game of gotcha with people's lives we would all be much better off. Better yet, throw Twitter, Facebook and other social media in the dust bin of history as a real mistake that ruins lives.

Yeah right. Like when you were 15 you could stand up to any scrutiny. Because of technology we’re living in an age of gotcha policing.

Meh....don't even know who won the HT this year....

 

[Polishprince]

So what's next? Will the NCAA disqualify him for the rest of the season? Will Oklahoma expel him? Is he going to be barred from the NFL?

I keep telling my kids what you say on the internet is there for ever and will come back to bite you. This is a fucked up world. You are not even allowed to make mistakes at 14.

I’ve said and did numerous things dreadful as a teen. The key difference being, excuses were not made for me by other people when I did them. I took my lumps, learned from it, and moved on. Actions and words have consequences. Pretty crazy, right? lol
