Who goes thru 7 years worth of tweets looking for dirt?

[Valuist]

First, somebody was looking for "insensitve" tweets made by Sean Newcombe on Saturday and now Trea Turner. You really wonder how pathetic somebody's life is to have to dig thru 7 years of tweets, just hoping to find some dirt from when a guy was in high school. Get a life.

Sorry tactic.

Newcomb patterns his pitching style after Jon Lester.

Excellent role model.

Same thing happened to Villanova's Donte DiVincenzo after his sterling performance in the 2018 Final Four.

Is there a program,or something which searches for key words and can quickly go through a persons twitter,and other social media accounts?
It's very suspicious that when someone suddenly registers on the trending now scale,something from their background surfaces too.
Seems a possible agenda is being pursued here,and thought police want citizens to follow a party line,examples are being made to keep more public discourse in a narrow channel."We" have ways of keeping you quiet,stick to officially approved dissent only please...

Digital footprints never go away. I had a former co-worker who’s email had a footer that said think twice before you hit send. Great words to live by in this age.

the first blow was with Hader.

It's really messed up that you have people going through hundreds of old tweets looking for something to be offended by.

Lots of people nowadays looking for reasons to get offended.

when a black player turns his life around from being a teenage asshat M$M heaps load of praise on the kid - rightfully so

usually not so when the kid is white

If Josh Hader, Sean Newcomb, or Trea Turner were black, I wonder if everyone would be so willing to give them a free pass, my guess is probably not.

If a black athlete was caught on social media making racist comments about whites, there would be an uproar, but when the white athlete gets caught, he was just young and immature

One of the tweets was a lyric from Drake. Losers pounding Newcomb but Drake gets commended for “creative expression”.

So talking trash informally is a crime,you can be sure the LGBT community has terms for heteros which are bandied about[such as "breeders"],and that many people have tweeted song lyrics with offensive [to someone]content included within:

In at least seven tweets, Newcomb used a homophobic slur. One of Newcomb’s tweets contains a song lyric that has a racially offensive term in it. We’ve linked to the tweets above, but be advised that the language used in those tweets is offensive.

It's naive to think there aren't real tensions,and disagreements between different groups,cultures,communities etc.There has to be a way to sometimes vent true feelings,opinions,views,without repercussions[as long as no violence occurs,but that's a law enforcement issue then]in order to better understand each others positions.

If they were black, nobody would be checking their tweets from 2011. Conservatives have better things to do than going back three quarters of a decade to try to find a controversial tweet someone made while in high school.
