Sports Editor - Odessa (TX) American

Yep, all it takes is a few keystrokes to ruin your career.

 

We actually had to part ways with a freelancer once over his Twitter behavior. Local football team went for it on fourth down deep in their own territory, and got pick-sixed. The freelancer tweeted of the coach "I don't know what he regrets more -- that call, or his drinking problem."

Local coach still won't talk to us, even after we made the kid delete the tweet and we put an public apology in the paper.

 

Simple. If you are considering a job, it's nice to have as much knowledge about the potential job. Any bit here helps, rather it's about the sports scene, the town, or the staff.

Was there a need to blast him on here? Maybe not. But if I were going to be the future SE, I would like to know what type of guys I'll be in charge of.

 

Might be the dumbest tweet I've ever seen

Stuff like this has me seriously wondering how anyone would think it's OK to post this on social media.

 

I'll be damned if I'd offer any kind of inside scoop on a thread like this if it leads to getting crucified by the peanut gallery. Guess young Justin didn't know that was the price ya pay.

 

Wow. Some things can't be undone overnight, even if it was a freelancer. Ouch!

 

Who you callin' a peanut, shot????

 

Be proud to be in a gallery.
