After back-to-back awful losses thanks to special teams gaffes, the Longhorns lost to TCU 50-7 Saturday. During halftime, Texas freshman cornerback Kris Boyd appeared to retweet a message about transferring to Texas A&M, which was bad enough.
But then the Texas Rangers seemed to jump on the "Fire Charlie Strong" bandwagon. Or, at least one rogue employee did
Per FOX Sports Southwest:
The tweet was quickly taken down after
it was posted, but the damage had already been done. ... The employee
was fired less than an hour later.
"The Texas Rangers wish to apologize to
the University of Texas and its head football coach Charlie Strong for
the very inappropriate and insensitive message that was briefly posted
on the team's twitter account this afternoon," read a statement from the
team. "The tweet was posted by a member of the team's social media
department who was neither working for the Rangers nor was at Globe Life
Park today. Effective immediately, that individual is no longer
employed by the Rangers. The Rangers sincerely regret this incident and
have taken the appropriate measures to make certain it does not occur in
the future."
