Allow us to refresh your memory. she basically accused Tyreek of being too stupid to properly type in The King's English.
Something that only a disgusting, fat, racist, underperforming, and lazy "journalism" major could possibly handle. [Reply]

It is common as dirt.
There is also the matter of the illiterate beast unfamiliar with the use of punctuation and words that end with a consonant.
That pig is a racist. Full stop.

No offense taken, Mr. FAX. I wasn't arguing either way. I honestly just didn't know which part people were referring to. I saw the "something felt off" comment, and that is really, really bad, racist or not. The other part about the commas? Yeah, I don't know. I hadn't seen that. She put her foot in her mouth a bunch. She doesn't seem very mature.. like she was just saying things to sound cool, or more interesting.
On a side note re: the texts... Am I the only one that just assumes those texts were paraphrased anyway? Not saying that Tyreek lacks vocab, or punctuation skills or anything like that.. just that they seem like a google translate conversation. If I were Tyreek the actual texts would have looked more like "Crystal you dumb fucking cunt! You know damn well I haven't laid a finger on my son now I'm out here maybe catching charges? Fuck you. Crazy dumbass bitch." [Reply]

She's also young, and I suspect that young reporters aren't getting a lot of training in the current journalism environment. I've also seen rumblings that the wife's family was specifically targeting her for reporting since they knew that she was inexperienced.
Can she recover from this debacle? If so, what would she have to do? If she made a complete heartfelt apology to Tyreek, to the Chiefs, to the fans, and to the city, and thoroughly spelled out her screwups in a way that we all know that she learned something, could she move forward and become a credible journalist in this city at some point? Or was this mistake fatal, and she needs to move to Milwaukee or Sarasota and begin writing technical use manuals for smart phones?
She needs to move. It would take to long for her to right this with much of the city. [Reply]
The cunt has left her mark of the 11 lb snail trail upon this City. it is time for her to vacate so that the cleaning crews may begin the 12-month process of removing and disinfecting the stank. [Reply]
