Kyler Murray is this year’s Heisman Trophy winner and the VERY NIGHT the young QB won the coveted award the media and mob came for him over six-year-old tweets they called ‘homophobic.’ You know, tweets he wrote when he was FIFTEEN YEARS OLD.
The next time media types start whining about people hating them you remind them of this crap right here:
As of early Sunday morning, four offensive tweets using an anti-gay slur remained active on the Heisman winner's account https://t.co/K0hQ6MI7up

Kyler was just a kid. FFS.
From USA Today:
Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray had a Saturday to remember. But the Oklahoma quarterback’s memorable night also helped resurface social media’s memory of several homophobic tweets more than six years old.
When Murray was 15 years old, he tweeted at his friends (via his since-verified Twitter account) using an anti-gay slur to defame them. As of early Sunday morning, four offensive tweets using the slur remained active on his account and had not been deleted.
He. Was. 15.
Holy crap, people.
Oh, and don’t worry USA Today, you and the rest of the mob bullied him into deleting the tweets … he wrote when he was in high school.
I apologize for the tweets that have come to light tonight from when I was 14 and 15. I used a poor choice of word that doesn’t reflect who I am or what I believe. I did not intend to single out any individual or group.

Of course he didn’t mean to single out any group … HE WAS A KID.

Dude. No kidding.
Every day this editor thinks maybe JUST MAYBE we’ve gotten to the stupidest point but then something like this pops up and yeah no.

Using dumb crap he tweeted when he was 15 to ruin the greatest achievement of his life.— Rita Panahi (@RitaPanahi) December 9, 2018
Welcome to the mob.
Kevin Hart says hi.
“From when I was 14 or 15” is the part where I opt out of this controversy https://t.co/6k4C6EQ5AG

Right?
Kyler Murray just had the greatest moment in his life and you guys want to ruin it with a stupid tweet you dug up from when he was FIFTEEN YEARS OLD?! If you want people to not hate you, stop doing things like this. There’s no low mainstream media won’t dive down to for clicks. https://t.co/j03Lp7g8VW

Bingo.

Oh, honey, so sorry! I saw who dug it up and all of us Bama fans aren’t like that! You achieved something amazing! I’m glad Twitter wasn’t around when I was that age. ❤️❤️❤️ to you today! Try to shake it off.

How DARE these assholes. Greatest moment of his life and they ruin it and for what? You’re such an embarrassment @ScottMGleeson and @USATODAY .
Those who cannot do so they tear down or criticizing those who can. This is pure spitefulness.

Pure Leftist media bullsh*t; this editor went out to search on Kyler to make sure she knew who he was (it’s sports, man) and EVERY story trending about the young man is about these stupid tweets and not the fact he won the Heisman.
Most of us know this Kyler. The perpetual outrage brigade is looking to tear someone else down.

They’ve just gotta ruin everything, don’t they?
Shameful.
