Was he convicted of sexually abusing a 6 year old? Oh wait, he'd still be on the team then. Except, no he wouldn't because he was a nobody who didn't help win sportsball games. You ok? Maybe time to take a walk, get some fresh air, get some perspective.

Just shows that social media stuff never goes away and can come back and bite you in the ass.

I didn't see or read what was said, but he is a white kid TE, and from the tweet he is being dismissed for racism/hate speech. I can only imagine it was really stupid. We are Racism U! What a frickin' idiot. Definitely one for the ignore feature.

As general rumination, my kids are of the "Tik Tok" generation. I am quick to tell them nothing every goes away on the internet. This is exhibit, oh, 10 billion of that.

Had a very serious talk with my 12 year old about not even liking anything online that is questionably offensive. Told him that if his friends ever tag him in anything or send him anything, he's gotta delete it immediately. It's a tough world for kids these days, mistakes aren't teachable moments anymore, they are permanent stains on your character.

Coach Smith did what he had to do. That crap can’t be tolerated. I feel for the kid... he was fifteen when that was recorded. I’m not defending what he said. I’ll say this; I’m lucky....as are many others.... that no one had recorded some of the immature, insensitive remarks I MADE when I was young. Hopefully, this young man has matured and changed. NABEAV makes a good point. A tough, tough world we have ......with good AND bad intentions.....created for our youth. Again, I hope this young man is contrite and continues on a good path. I don't know how else to think about it.

I definitely think dismissal from the team was necessary, but I would've liked to have seen some statement from the coach, athletic department, or university that spoke to them offering counseling or guidance to Rocco Carley to try and educate him and change his behavior going forward.
