Yesterday evening Trey Turner was ‘forced’ to apologize to the WORLD and all in it for an ‘inappropriate ‘tweet’ he made about 7 years ago. (Was there tweet in 2010 or so?)
Apparently, he referenced a movie character that was ‘different’ and he is/was being called out about it.
The GM made a statement on behalf of the team and one of his teammates tweeted about no matter how trivial this attitude shouldn’t prevail.
I know that I PERSONALLY pooh-paw this crap but I swear, I figured that the poor guy was going to be stripped to the waist and given a taste of the ‘cat’ between games of a doubleheader.
ALL this took place when he was in school, had nothing to do with the team, yet....
Anyone who has ever played sports knows the ‘locker room antics’ and the abuse players and teammates pile on each other. Find a weakness and your ‘buddies’ will see how much nettle you possess.
Watching him stumble through his ‘confession’ was really embarrassing ....it was difficult to watch....
They can’t break through on kneeling for the Anthem in baseball, so let’s go back in the archives to find something someone said, did, or thought as teenagers. Just wait another 5 years when Alexa is hacked and tells all that was said in someone’s home.
Turner yesterday and today: stole 4 bases and scored 6 runs.
Nowadays, apologies are like chum in shark-infested waters....own it and ride the storm out.
