"Beer money sign man sorry for old racist tweets"

 

That's one of the worst headlines ever written.

 

Death rattles of journalism

 

Your statement would have actually been a better headline.

 

Multiple people on here asked me to define cancel culture recently. Here ya go.

 

I remember when it was called consequences.

 

Consequences, like losing your job.

 

Yeah, that was inevitable. Glad they moved quickly.

 

God you’re such a tool

 

You should try self reflection next time, instead of projection.

 

Quoting Tosh.O?

 

Has anyone seen the racist tweets?

 

I was speaking more in a general sense, not specific to this story.

He lost out on a years supply of Busch Beer in cans with his face on them, if you call not being to drink Busch Beer for free a loss. All the money promised is still being matched and/or donated. Money is still coming in.

His life is far from over.

 

If you’re so convinced or outraged this is *checks notes* “cancel culture”, put your money where your mouth is and send the kid 15 bucks for a case of Busch to make up for it.

 

So what's the other purpose of even commenting on 7 year old tweets? If made a couple of weeks ago, sure. But 7 years ago? What's the purpose?

 

Breaking: teenager says stupid thing on the internet. Cannot do good deed quietly without punishment.

 

I don’t have any other information outside of what the editor(s) posted to Twitter.

 

It is right-wingers fault that he was fired.....

Not surprised

 

Seems like they were planning on it before this, but by the time the guy held a press conference about it, they had to.
