Old homophobic tweets from Kyler Murray's Twitter account surface after he wins Heisman
https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2018/12/08/kyler-murray-heisman-winners-old-homophobic-tweets-resurfaced/2255806002/ (https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2018/12/08/kyler-murray-heisman-winners-old-homophobic-tweets-resurfaced/2255806002/)
Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray had a Saturday to remember. But the Oklahoma quarterback's memorable night also helped resurface social media's memory of several homophobic tweets more than six years old.
When Murray was 15 years old, he tweeted at his friends (via his since-verified Twitter account) using an anti-gay slur to defame them. As of early Sunday morning, four offensive tweets using the slur remained active on his account and had not been deleted.
Murray, 21 now, joins several other famous athletes to find themselves thrust in a negative spotlight as a result of their old tweets resurfacing in the midst of big accomplishments. The Milwaukee Brewers' Josh Hader had racist, homophobic and misogynistic tweets resurface from when he was 17 years old this past summer. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen saw racist tweets resurface from his teenage years ahead of the NFL draft. And Villanova Final Four Most Outstanding Player Donte DiVincenzo had a profane tweet with racist rap lyrics surface on the Internet right after he helped the Wildcats win a national title.
The Oklahoma athletics department did not immediately respond to an inquiry by USA TODAY Sports regarding the tweets late Saturday night.
Murray, also a baseball player drafted ninth overall by the Oakland Athletics this past summer, plans to report to spring training in 2019 after his collegiate football career concludes. Oklahoma faces Alabama in the College Football Playoff on Dec. 29.

I wonder how long these asshats sat on this “story†waiting to see if he won last night.
Non story....moving on.....seriously. This is nothing. Because no high school kid has ever called another a fag or queer in total satire. Never. Good god - we’ve lost our minds.
I’m just glad all those who do the poking and prodding for these stories - didn’t have social media when in hs and college. We would all be guilty if everything we ever said or wrote saw the light of day by today’s politically correct standard.

I’m extremely grateful there is no written record of the things I said.

Thousands of years from now think about how silly it’s going to be to know the Western Empire crashed because of social media.

There will be monuments to Kaos who spoke the great truths. All that will remain of the Internet will be this forum and the wisdom of Kaos.

This board is exactly why you'll never see a billboard that says Snags for Congress.

True story.
I’m very frustrated with our local government. They’re making asinine decisions that the environment and infrastructure cannot support. Coincidentally some are getting rich doing it.
I’ve met with our HOA and others in a failed effort to stop a 1000 unit development that encroaches on our neighborhood and that our schools don’t have space to support. Weve discussed running somebody to represent our area and try to bring some sense to this uncontrolled growth.
At dinner with my parents and I mention that I might be interested in putting together a run for a spot on the city council. My mother drops her fork in horror and says “your father and I have to live in this community!!!â€
Well. Ok.
