Just saw that Brady is covering the nfl draft … For the bbc.
Truly deplorable that some twitter twits would racially slur Joel Ward. Nice to see him deal with it so respectfully. Also glad to see so many come to his defense. No place for that in sports or anywhere else!
Thanks.
Deplorable things being said by irrelevant people on Twitter in order to get attention? No way! I find that hard to believe!
In england, people have been charged and arrested for sending racial tweets involving epl players.
Arresting a guy and putting him in jail for tweeting a few racist comments was insane. These supposed fans were wrong to use the ‘n’ word but no one should be arrested for calling someone names. Remember that saying “sticks and stones…….”.
Words can have a lot of power, especially slurs leveled at marginalized and oppressed groups. You don’t need to use physical force to hurt somebody. Bullying doesn’t need to be physical to cause somebody to kill themselves, for instance.
Nobody is saying they should be jailed (what the UK does is their own business, nobody here is saying they should be jailed) but what the racist n-word tweeters said should be criticized and condemned by those who are disgusted.
