What does the MSB think?

1. I think she has responded perfectly, even asking the college to reverse their decision.
2. Like Tim Tebow, I don't like that the media shoves her down our throats, but I don't put that against her.
3. I think this guy was punished way too harshly. Suspend him - sure, but kicking him off the team for something he tweeted? If baseball players aren't allowed to say douchey things, we might as well shut down the sport.
4. I basically agree with what he said if you replace the word "slut" with "girl" in his tweet.

The tweet in question:
quote:

Disney is making a movie about Mo'ne Davis? WHAT A JOKE. That slut got rocked by Nevada.

Didn't she write a book?

She's twice the athlete you ever were. To call out a kid, girl or boy, who is only competing is pathetic. Grow the frick up.

Agree. She's a very impressive young lady.

Best part is that douchebag has to look in the mirror every morning and know a 13-year-old girl has more class and maturity than he does.

I can't believe a freaking college player got kicked off a team over a tweet! Pussification of America at it's finest!

First time seeing the tweet, what makes him think she is a "slut" does he have firsthand knowledge?

Ugh whatever happen to making a player fricking run.kicking off the team is such shite. In suc a hurry to show we arent racis,homophobic, gynophobic that we go to most extreme measure to appease the insulted so they hopefully say that youre cool.
frick me once again instead of teaching we just punish to mak3 mobs happy...and i wouldnt even mnow the story unless the media blew it up or the college overreacted

How stupid to call a 13 year old a slut.

I've never understood the modern social trend of calling every female a bitch, slut or "ho."

Why am I watching her get interviewed right now on espn2? How is this girl still in the spotlight 9 months later? I honestly do not get it. I don't hold it against her personally but I'm about to

Yup.

Don't get why it's still a story. It was great last summer. She didn't win and is still celebrated like she's the first female athlete ever. She is not my annoyance, but the media is.

Yup. Suspended with an apology and getting rid of Twitter would be sufficient.

Yup. A simple "why is Disney making a movie about her after getting beat?" I also think the Jackie Robinson team was the better story prior to the district/cheating coming out.

Twitter has been great...you no longer have to speculate on whether or not a player is ignorant trash, it is right there in front of you.

I think it is a fair move. How does one muster up the nerve to call a 13 yr old a slut is beyond me.

Well, she did get rocked by Nevada. And that movie is a joke. . . But I don't think it's right to call a young girl a slut.

Whether that merited the player in question being kicked off the team, I don't think so. But I don't really have a problem with it either.

As a coach I wouldn't want a player on my team that twitted out that a 13 year old girl, who he has never met, is a slut.

Dude made a dumbass comment trying to get a laugh and didn't think anyone outside of his friends would who follow him would care. Not smart but stupid to kick him off the team for it.

Calling a thirteen year old girl a slut is pretty bad.
i don't know what the appropriate punishment is, but you have to know if you go that dirty, you might be found to be dirty.

A tweet is a tweet, but this kid should have been taught better. If his parents haven't instilled it in him, then I'm fine with the letting the world do it.
