Astros Pitcher in Sack Cloth and Ashes Over Justin Bieber Slur

Tip of the beanie to Huffington Post (Ugh)



Unacceptable



I am linking the Huffpo report on this huge story out of Houston (where nothing good ever happens). It seems a young pitcher for the Houston Awfuls, er Astros was tweeting back and forth with a "friend" and referred to Canadian jerk Justin Bieber as a "fag". Well, his "friend" sent it viral, and here is what ensued.

"The Astros quickly released a statement regarding the tweet, noting, "We do not condone the language used on Twitter today by Jarred. It is unacceptable from anyone in our organization. We've spoken to Jarred about this matter, and he is extremely remorseful. He realizes his mistake and has apologized."

What the Astros should have said is that it is unacceptable for their team to lose over 100 games each of the last three seasons and their players are all very remorseful.

Tip to Jarred Cosart: Save the f-word for when you go to England and need a cigarette. Next time just call Justin Bieber a jerk. Apologize to the gays, but not to Bieber.
