Can anyone find a video of Chipper’s full HOF speech?
Can anyone find a video of Chipper’s full HOF speech?
the digging up of old tweets is getting ridiculous
my view is learning is not restricted to age...an 80 year old can learn as much from his mistakes as an 8 year old
now there is a risk of harm from unmasking things that happened years ago...but with respect to what happened with Newcomb I think it is more likely that something good will come out of it
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
What’s the worst part of this story is that ultimately Newcomb is the only real victim and he’s the one that used idiotic, hurtful language.
Luckily the casts majority of society understands how moronic these stories are so at least in this case it’s a minor slap on the wrist that will be quickly forgotten
Trade Newcomb now! His value will never be higher!
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."

I'm lucky social media wasn't a thing when I was a teenager. I hate to think that could be dragged up if half the crap I said was immortalized online. I don't think there's a person alive who could defend everything they said at that age.

Yeah sure, but the thing that gets on my nerves, is now anyone that does something noteworthy....there is a moron that will sit and dig thru years of tweets. This is just to take away from what that person did.
It really doesn’t have as much to do with what he said back then, but much more...what he did today. Those tweets have set there for ten years and no one paid attention.
There are literally people that look for anyone doing something great and only then....they begin digging thru their tweets. Just to find dirt and ruin their big day.
The fact that Newk hadn’t removed the tweets proved he had forgotten about the fact the ever existed....or was drunk as a skunk when he tweeted them.

If we had technology that allowed us to retroactively view how many times you went over the speed limit and we as a society issued you a citation for speeding, you would learn a lesson about the consequences of speeding. Would you support an initiative like that? IMO, this the exact same thing.
I'm with you in that I have no idea what kind of person he is and still don't. I find the idea of making a determination of what kind of person someone is based on a few isolated online statements from when he was 18 is kind of ridiculous. It's something only an idiot would do.
The reality is nobody knew about this nor was hurt or offended by the tweets until some loser decided to go search for something to get offended by.
Now it's a national story and he's probably gonna have to do some stupid **** like sensitivity training for something he said as a teenager.
And bc of that it will encourage the same behavior of retroactive outrage
This just infuriates me. The guy just pitched a 1 hitter and some loser digs up old tweets from high school and that’s the news story. We need to make sure he knows this city appreciates him and is behind him regardless of what the pot stirrers come up with.
