The irony over possibly being canceled for posting rap lyrics.
quote:
BALTIMORE -- New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes said he deactivated his Twitter account after screenshots surfaced Sunday of tweets from a decade ago that included racial slurs.
Cortes appeared to be quoting rap lyrics in at least some of the tweets, and he did not seem to be using the words to demean anyone directly
quote:
I felt like it wasn't the right message that I wanted to send out, when I was 17 years old," Cortes said before Monday's game against Baltimore. "Those happened 10 years ago. I deactivated my Twitter to clean stuff up.
"It's not acceptable," he added. "I think I could have managed myself and said stuff differently. But I'm here today to say that I'm going to work on it and fix it."

The people who go back decades looking for shite like this need to be taken out to an alleyway and flogged.

Appreciating black music creators is not acceptable. Hope he sticks to the caucasion arts from now on.

Cleaning up All social media pages should be the 1st thing a sports agent does when representing anyone

Exactly, if that word is so bad then it should not be said by anyone.

If they were filthy lyrics he'd rather his fans (and kids) NOT see, I tip my cap to the guy.
If he's doing this because he fears "public repercussions" over a ten year old tweet, then...HOW STUPID AND COWARDLY.

They did the same thing to Josh Hader when he was appearing in the all-star game a couple of years ago
People that do this are some of the biggest loser scumbags on the face of the earth. Cortes was a nothing prospect, drafted in the 36th round, who has turned into the best starter in baseball for the first two months of 2022 and some loser who lives online digs this up. It’s insane

Quoting music lyrics is racist, but writing the song, making an album, and making money performing said song are fine?

They have to be paid agitators, IMO.

God forbid we let a 17 year old grow and learn from his mistakes. frick the left man.
Isn't progress what they want? yet they get it and it isn't good enough. "We want less racism." Dude posts rap lyrics that were possibly "cool" 10 years ago and he grows as a human and would never do that now and it's cancel time? frick off.
We don't let people learn from their mistakes or grow nowadays. The only people who are uncancellable are blacks (unless they trash the gay or Jewish community) and rich politicians who did black face years ago and now can be prime ministers of a nation. Lame

Who decides they have the time in a day to say, "Hey, I think I'm gonna go back into Nestor Cortes' twitter account and see if I can dig up dirt." Get a life, my God.

So why are ya'll complaining? Because nothing happened to Josh Hader

People who take the time to dig that shite up and dox people need to be taken out to a woodshed and flogged to death.
Nobody gives a shite about what someone said in 2012 at age 17.

Is he involved in a divorce or child custody dispute?

Sad. Will no doubt join Josh Allen in being canceled.

Good point. In an act of solidarity, I will continue my boycott of rap music.
