[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 15964285, member: 6727"] It is way out of control now. Being sorry or remorseful (genuine) for something said in the past means little. Not in this PC environment with social media warriors afoot. Case in point. Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader had his old social media postings discovered last Tuesday. Among the tweets sent by Hader when he was a teenager in 2011 and 2012 was at least [b][color=#ff4d4d]one post[/color][/b] in which he used the n-word and another one saying, “I hate gay people.” Two posts! When they became public (who submitted them and why), he then expressed genuine remorse for what he said back then. But that wasn't enough for MLB. Nope...[b][U]genuine remorse[/U] and a [U]genuine apology[/U] and an [U]assurance he no longer holds the views he did as a teenager[/U] were not enough[/b]. So Major League Baseball announced Wednesday that while Hader [color=#4da6ff]won’t be suspended for the offensive social media posts, [U]thanks to showing sufficient remorse during the controversy,[/U] [/color][color=#ff4d4d]he will have to undergo [U]sensitivity training[/U].[/color] Sensitivity training? o_O So most definitely this crap is out of control. You know, while I recognize Hader might not want to risk losing his job, this would have been an absolutely perfect time and perfect example of someone who was genuinely remorseful to have refused the sensitively training, stating it was not necessary because he no longer held the views he did as a young teen. Hell, the fans gave Hader a standing ovation when his name was announced at the game mentioned below. That showed him, and shows me, that the fans believed him and accepted his apology. Life now moves on. Had he stated "sensitivity training" was more about being PC, I believe he would have gotten the same standing ovation and support from the fans. This crap won't end until someone takes a stand and declares "my remorse and sorrow for what I did should be sufficient". True remorse over a social transgression should make room for forgiveness. It was reported that fellow Brewers players believe Hader’s apologies and assurances that he’s a changed man. Josh's response to his teammates supporting him was...“It’s amazing.
