I know we have a moratorium on the jerk*** from DP but this sheds some light on the situation at the moment:

Seems pretty reasonable.
Also, buried at the bottom of the article.
In other news, redshirt freshman tailback Davien Payne, who wasn't listed on the spring depth chart, was declared academically ineligible. Also, four team captains will be announced June 19.

Welcome back
Opens the door to the possibility he's lying. I sure hope he isn't, because if he just owned up to it he may have been given a second chance. Now if they find out he is lying, then goodbye. P.S. I assume he's telling the truth, just throwing out a hypothetical (rep will be delivered here).

I hope that story is true, but man that's a tough story to believe - someone else took his phone and tweeted a racist slur under his account? Did the same person take his phone again the next day to send the apology tweet too?

I support systemic racism
Good call. Read the article and didn't even think about the follow up tweet
Because of all the silly, emotional and downright ridiculous things you've posted over the years (not to be lost is that you've posted some very good things as well), probably the most ridiculous can be found in this thread. I wanted to make sure that you knew that I'd noticed.
His apology is for "what happened." Doesn't really amount to a confession. If he is telling the truth, his follow up tweet would still probably be worded that way.
that would also be easy to do.
in my office you dont leave your computer unlocked in the bull-pen for fear of pranks like people send emails from your account, resetting your back ground etc.
I know super professional.
We kind of figured that out, I think.

Are you serious? If that were me, first of all my follow up tweet would make it clear as crystal to this other kid and the twitter universe that I didn't write it. One of my idiot friends stole my phone and posted that to be a jackass and play a horrible prank on me. And secondly, I would have cleared that up the minute I saw what happened with my phone - not the next day after the fallout.
I knew you'd out yourself eventually, Pissbomber.
We had the same problem at BP. You didn't leave your phone lying around either. BP was uber politically correct so you wouldn't send out prank emails to others in the company, so people would send prank emails to their cubicle-mates girlfriends.
Good times.
I mean I guess I don't see what was so ridiculous about my comments in this thread. SK should not have said that (if he did) and I don't condone it. Are you a South Park fan? If so, have you seen the episode with the bikers? That is sort of the difference I was trying to point out.
And nah man, I've posted much more ridiculous **** on here over the years :lol:

He said he had been trying to reach him, and apologized for what happened. I don't think he meant to elaborate on twitter, but in person, or at least on the phone. You know, man up. Admirable if true. MM talked to him, I didn't. I'm gonna just have to trust the coach on this one.
That's the first half way balanced article I've read from this **** in a while...

This reminds me of that time Carmelo Anthony put a bitchslap bounty on someone named Kat Stacks, then one of his boys jumped on the grenade and said it was him tweeting from Melo's phone. Yeah I can imagine people like Coach Mike MacIntyre who played college ball in the 80s think Twitter is just about the most useless thing ever.

Here is more info from Munsterteiger. Or should I say better written.

Yeah, I'd still want to make it abundantly clear that I wasn't the one who wrote that tweet if that's the truth. It sounds like a "dog ate my homework" kind of excuse to me, but like I said, I hope he's telling the truth - I'm not sure how you could prove either way so I suspect this will be the end of it.
This is an offseason type of attention grabber, there just isn't much other news to grab onto so it got bigger than it normally would have.
That said it will be the end of it unless Kronshage makes another notable error in judgement. I'm expecting that no matter how this happened his margin for error in the future just got much smaller.
I hope Adam won't mind, but this side of the story needs to get out there in full:
During a lengthy conversation with MacIntyre, Kronshage explained that he was at a graduation party and was in the pool when someone used his phone without his permission to send the tweet. MacIntyre also received a detailed e-mail from Sam's parents explaining the situation.
"I have to trust the young man and trust what is going on here. I do believe them," MacIntyre said. "We're in the process of trying to make sure what we've been told is definitely real and go from there. I didn't even sleep last night and I know they haven't either."
"The time I have known Sam and the family, they seem like phenomenal people," he added. "If his character is damaged, he is going to rebuild it. If his reputation is damaged, he is going to rebuild it. Time will definitely tell on that."
The tweet was removed from his Twitter account as soon as he was aware it existed, Kronshage told MacIntyre. Kronshage tried multiple times to apologize to the rival baseball player.
Additional notes -
Sam's uncle is Nigerian.

Tini, your 'a' vs 'er' thing is absolutely irrelevant here.
In the tweets, he (or whoever) said, "make sure you wash mine like the old days," "you do wash clothes because you're a ******."
If he had said you're a: *****, *****, black, african american, brotha, brother, dark-skinnned-fella, etc. it still would have been racist because he is saying the person is delegated to washing his clothes because of his race.
So yeah, you're out of your ****ing element.

Which reminds me... next time I expect you to get my tighty whities extra white, cracka.

And like I said, I think he was trying to do that directly with Coleman - he doesn't owe Twitter anything. MM thinks he's a kid with character, and that's all that matters.
