How dare you insult the POUS on social media, especially when he’s mourning?
A North Alabama football player recently lost his place in the team, and probably his career, no thanks to his explicit message.
During
President Barack Obama’s address on the Newtown, Connecticut shooting
on Sunday night, North Alabama player Bradley Patterson sent out a
racist tweet directed towards him.
“Take that [expletive] off the tv, we wanna watch football!” Patterson, whose account has since been deleted, tweeted.
Representatives from the school later confirmed Bradley had been kicked off the team.
“As
Obama mournfully spoke about the 26 victims of an attack on an
elementary school, Patterson was apparently upset that NBC decided to
show the president on its main network and temporarily move the
Patriots-49ers game to CNBC and the NBC Sports Network. And he thought
this was the way to express it, according to a story on AL.com:
“North
Alabama was quick to respond, according to AL.com. Patterson,
humorously described as an “uninvited walk-on long snapper” by a school
official in the article, was quickly booted from the team, which
athletic director Mark Linder announced on Twitter,” Yahoo News Reports.
