I understand when you are young you say and do stupid things, but some things even at a young age you know are wrong. At 15 you should know suggesting a black president being assassinated isn’t something you should be saying or thinking.
If a black player had tweeted that about Trump, MAGA would be losing their mind, but since Ryan Rolison is apparently a part of MAGA he is being protected by the young and dumb rule that only seems to apply to young white males.
It was in 2012, and it was a stupid tweet, and it was immature of me. I had no idea what I was talking about. It was immature of me to post something like that. People know that’s not who I am, and the Colorado Rockies know that’s not who I am.
The part that bothers me is the “I had no idea what I was talking about”. It was like he was tweeting about a subject that was complicated and had the facts wrong. He directly said he wanted someone to murder a black President, he knew exactly what he was talking about.
Flip the page for a disgusting tweet.
