Drew Lock apologizes for insensitive tweets from when he was 14.

This country has jumped the shark.

Who let your arse on our board???

It's the right thing to do. Apologize, the story is dead in 24 hours and he is back focused on football. Anything else just fuels the media and keeps the story alive and becomes a distraction for the team.

Sure what he said was stupid and childish but his statement and apology were very good. As i tell my kids, there is no dumber animal on the planet than a 13-30 year old male.

If I had to apologize for all the things I said when It was last week it would take me a month or two.

Fixed it for me.

Here is a picture of all the fricks I give about this:

A few points.

There’s a world of difference between 14 and 18. And 18 and beyond. By 18, you should have enough information at your disposal to be cognizant of racial and homophobic slurs. Particularly in this day and age.

At 14 and below, I wasn’t fully cognizant of the gay community and their plight and often used “gay” and a standing for “stupid.”

That is to say I never used the f-word so many are infatuated with. Ever.

And I sure as frick never used racial slurs. But I also grew up with black, Indian, and Asians are among my best friends.

Much of this can be solved with parenting.

And this is the issue with social media. Once you put it out there, it’s out there forever.

Companies troll your social presence.

Is it right? frick no. I think it’s an invasion.

But that’s the world we’ve created for ourselves.
