TSN more or less admits guilt though they seem to be more irresponsible setup of the twitter feed than intent on their part. original tweeter(is that what you call it?) from the last few tweets seemed to think he had no fault as near I could tell, guess those hashtags that TSN filtered in to the feed just magically appeared in his tweet.... though I am not a twitter user so guess I could be mistaken in thinking he would have had to knowingly tag it as what TSN was looking for.

Either way should be a popcorn eating gong show to watch till everyone apologizes enough for all to move on. Maybe a few of the vast social media herd that act like idiots behind their keyboard will thing twice next time they want to be an ass.

I like this comment from reddit:

Our team is fucking doomed.

Odd reading around how many people feel so bad for the original tweeter. Going to have to be vigilant now with my kids in their understanding that when they say something on social media it still counts as them actually saying it as their seems to be a disconnect with that reality in many a young person.

I don't have the slightest bit of sympathy for the original tweeter. Fuckwad put it out there for people to see. Now he's somehow a sympathetic figure because people did?

If this somehow signals the end of the live Twitter stream during TV broadcasts, I am all for it.

Yeah, the hashtag shows he clearly intended it to be seen by many outside his little corner of the virtual room.
