SB Nation ^ | July 29, 2018 | Eric Stephen

Another day, another athlete exposed for terrible behavior on social media. Atlanta Braves left-hander Sean Newcomb apologized on Sunday after a series of his homophobic and racist tweets were found.

The tweets in question were made in 2011 and 2012 when Newcomb was a freshman at the University of Hartford.

Newcomb was one out away from pitching a no-hitter against the Dodgers today.

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker did the right thing by letting Newcomb go as far as possible, throwing 134 pitches, before allowing a hit to my road weary Dodgers (11th game in 11 days).

Great game kid, congrats on the dominating win.

Another victim of the communist media’s kangaroo court system.

Stalinist repression of speech.

Too bad us ‘common folk’ don’t have the time or assets or effort to be able to do ‘anal checks’ on these so called reporters and TV/Radio newsreaders.

Would imagine we could find that some of them actually crapped themselves when ‘younger’ and harassed their mother in a ‘sexist’ way when it came to breast feeding or found some acted in a ‘mean’ way by dipping girls pigtails in the inkwell of their desks while in school.

Bad part is how much of this crap are WE paying for? Guess all of it when you consider still buying/reading/watching and utilizing their sponsors.

I haven't followed MLB much in recent years, but I couldn't imagine the great 1970's Dodger starting pitchers whining after a 100 pitches. Burt Hooten? Tommy John? Don Sutton? Jerry Reuss? Even Doug Rau and Rick Rhoden? All these guys would take a complete game if they could get it. Even a few years later, Orel Hershiser and Rick Sutcliffe would CERTAINLY throw complete games with regulairty. All these guys had full careers, though Hooten had early drop-off.

True.

Newcomb is a decent pitcher, but tonight he is fighting for his career.

Hank Aaron is a Braves executive, he must be fuming tonight.

Why? Is Hank Aaron a homo? That would surprise me. Other than being a libtard, he seems normal.

Indeed, he was 1 strike away.

The N word was used in Newcomb’s tweets.

The N word is the worst word you can call a black person.

Atlanta has a large homosexual population, they’ll be traveling to Cobb County if Newcomb doesn’t get a hold of this.

Cobb County, GA is trending heavily Democratic by the way.

Because they have neither the maturity nor talent to do anything else.

Have you looked at the bios of today’s “journalists”? It’s laughable the same ol same ol . . . young, immature, East Coast born and “educated’ Private schools/U. BA degrees, often not even in “Journalism” Bouncing from pissant job to pissant job, often with less than a year per stop

How can these immature little twits know anything about the Tax Code, or financing, or bureaucracy, or big time politics? All they can do is “call out” someone for anti PC crap, like here.

Wait until The Bachelorette’s “winner’ is announced next week and see the SHTF over his tweets. He’s already been “forced” to apologize. And this the fiance of a girl who claims over and over she wants “honesty” but readily admitted she voted for hilLIAR Oh, but not a peep over that stupidity and hypocrisy.

And here we thought the Baby Boomers were Fed up.

He quoted a verse with "Nigga" in it from some stupid "song" from a vulgar and untalented rapper named "Drake."

As far as fags, I bet Hank Aaron has called a few fags fags too. Show me a straight male who hasn't been castrated who claims he's never called a fag a fag and I'lll show you a liar.

Atlanta has a large homosexual population

Who cares how many fags are in Cobb County, except maybe the fudge packer community, AIDS treatment drug companies and theater companies putting on musicals?

Cobb County, GA is trending heavily Democratic by the way.

Cobb county is trending black and of course they vote democrat. Democrat, the party of KKK and segregation, has snookered blacks for decades.
