When Jarred Bowen was 15 on twitter...

Post by GodIsADeeJay81 » Fri Mar 26, 2021 11:00 am

When he was 15, he used a word that's offensive and the FA have been made aware of it.

Probably going to get a ban for that one.

What's more offensive is his spelling of father (farther) :lol:

I also picked up on his use of the word their instead of they're.

Please write a bad thing you did at 15... and then finish your statement like how Bowen finished his

Lets get a list going - heres mine

I nearly blinded my friend when I shot him with a BB gun. This is not an example I wish to set and it certainly does not portray the values and principles that I hold.

I am so glad that social media wasn't around when I was a teenager. Kids who have grown up with sharing absolutely every thought they have on social media are going to get crucified for it if they ever become successful.

And perhaps not even that successful. I have no idea who Jarred Bowen is :|

I had a friend that did that too. I think it might have been an air rifle, but clearly you aren't the only one to have caused that accident.....

I'm not sure about that tweet. If it had been written by a black person, it makes a lot of sense, criticising a white person for pretending to be black. Pretty stupid though, even at 15.

Me neither.

I wonder if he's related to the West Ham player, Jarrod Bowen.

When I was 15 I put a turd through the letterbox of somebody who refused to return a football.

Things that really puzzle me about this.

1. If I was a professional footballer I'd make damn sure that any historic tweets where I'd said something dicey would be deleted.
2. As above but with the media team at the club giving his social media team an audit.
3. Bet he gets banned, which is ridiculous for something he did 10 years ago.

Did you wrap it, or use gloves? Asking for a friend.

As long as it’s not an example you wish to set and it does not portray the values and principles that you hold.

It's already in the public domain.

If you're asking why it's now being noticed, I'm going to guess a fan from an opposing club went looking for something, that's what happened to Andre Gray when an Everton fan I think it was went digging.

I could be mistaken, but wasn’t that a Liverpool fan, not long (minutes) after we’d done em over?

If that's the case, that a 'football fan' discovered the tweet, or went looking for something like it, that suggests someone with a particularly nasty streak.

Presumably they trawl through social media looking for offensive posts, wait until an opportune time (such as Andre Gray scoring his first Premier League goal), then tell a journalist who of course can't wait to get a gold star from his editor. What should have been a joyous memory for Gray is now forever tinted with his homophobic quotes from his distant past.

How come these people aren't getting called out? To me they're like crooks, operating in our midst but unable to be identified, causing people unnecessary worry.

The fact they use twitter at all, qualifies this statement.

Just like Camelot, Twitter is a silly place.

The Andre Gray case highlights the need for professional sports people to 'clean' their social media accounts.

I've seen what Bowen said when he was 15, you'll find worse if you spend just 5mins browsing twitter.

The fact is people will happily spend time looking for dirt, professional sports people need to take away that dirt and deal with it before someone else does.

We had just beaten Liverpool but it was an Everton fan who highlighted Gray’s tweet.

Gray’s tweets were significantly worse and he was older than Bowen. He’ll get a telling off and maybe some enforced community work.
