re: Alabama player Shaun Dion Hamilton ridicules ALLEGED autistic kid...

He couldn't tell the difference between an average auburn fan and an autistic kid. Not surprising

Your shitty posting continues.

What if this kid is alone because he was first to sit down and the tweet was just a lighthearted joke? Surely I'm not the only person that thinks this is very likely.

---

That could very well be the case, and may be the reason he went ahead and deleted the tweet.

How do you know he's autistic from his appearance in that pic?

---

I'm under the assumption he was based on what I read on Twitter and the text message I received earlier today (that's how I originally heard about the situation). FWIW, kids with autism do have certain physical appearances and characteristics that help doctors diagnose them.

I see you're still ticked because SDH told the Auburn staff to kick rocks. Duly noted.

When was I ever "ticked" in the first place?

He might not be an auburn fan either. Maybe he bought it at goodwill because he just needed a sweatshirt. I have a cool Kansas St hat but could give 2 farks about them.

Very true. I, myself, have a shirt for Florida, South Carolina, Auburn, and Miami (Da U).

There is no "appearance" to an autistic individual.

Pretty ignorant statement.

Actually... LINK

Dumb joke by Hamilton, but my main takeaway is that the only possible pieces of shite in this story are people like TT who want to 'improve' the story by perpetuating a totally unsubstantiated detail. Nice move dude. Whether this kid has autism or not he is clearly a football fan and now you are broadcasting this on a forum he very well may visit. Seems you need to give this rivalry a break. Let me ask you, who tweeted this detail? Someone from the Bunker?

---

I don't know where to start here. Well, first off, nobody from the Bunker tweeted it. A couple of websites, with Twitter accounts, did tweet it, however. Second off, I was going by the tweets in regards to the kid having autism. Third off, who cares if he reads the forum? I posted an article. Is it not a big deal to you that Shaun Dion Hamilton was making fun of him, and posting pictures of him on Twitter? He was the original person to take and post the picture.

In poor taste but I feel like it was more of a stab at auburn than the kid. Doesn't make it right but I don't think he's a TPOS like people are suggesting. Not for that, anyway.

Agreed.
