So Noam Dar is the latest to have some geek trawl through their entire Twitter history to try and find something to cause trouble with.
It should be found easily enough. Some are sexual and racial in nature.
Will this result in his deal being scrapped?

If Noam Dar got his deal taken away because of that, then every wrestler on the planet should have their Twitter history browsed.
It's petty as hell to dig up dirt on someone to try to ruin their dream.

Doubt it, this one isn't nearly to the level of the other examples we've seen.
Also he was smart enough to delete it years ago according to the story I just read.

According to redditors, it's just typical Scottish humour, which is even darker/weirder than the English humour
Whoever digs up those tweets should get a life. Or get droned at home

Or get droned at home As a Scot, nothing he said shocked or offended me. We're a pretty brutal bunch. c*** is a term of endearment in my circles. Other people have feelings though unlike me so I could see an issue for some people. |

Okay, sitting on something for years like in this case, yeah, that's just being petty and wanting to cause trouble.
But I don't get the backlash over the poking through people's past on Twitter thing. One, it's still shit out there able to be readily seen regardless of when it was posted, and two, it's entirely possible to find something like that unintentionally if you're just bored one night or whatever.

Unless the dude was on a level of the Lostprophets guy or Hitler, I doubt I care enough about someone to go to this effort so I am talking purely from my own lack of empathy. |

Digging through people's twitters and social media is so, so lame (and apparently someone may have saved this for years?).
And is this even offensive? I'm honestly struggling to see this. Havok's tweets at least had a nasty edge to them. Maybe it's just UK humour that means I can't wrap my head around people being offended by these comments.
I can't see this hurting him too much.

He's a cretin for posting them to begin with, but whoever dug them up should probably rethink what they're doing with their life.

Three, regardless of the actual content, if you're digging through backlogs of people's Twitter accounts, and you don't work for that person's employer, then you have no life. |

Interesting, the twitter account that leaked these has been deleted.

His black comment was referencing the title of a hip hop song by a black person. Can certain people just not call things by their name or sing along if it's non-PC now?

As annoying as it is to have someone jokingly using racial slurs and the like on social media, I can't work up any anger about it anymore. It was a dumb kid (I think he was like 18 at the time of these) saying dumb kid shit. God knows what it'd look like if you dug up some of the shit I said when I was younger. Definitely not racial, but only recently I got one of those "On This Day" things on Facebook of me calling my friend a gay slur like 7 years ago. At this point I think intent is really the key factor in how we should react to these situations. Someone making an immature joke is not worthy of us blowing our tops.
But nowadays when these situations arise my main feeling is pity towards the sad folks who spend time going through years of tweets just to try and spoil somebody's reputation. And according to the dude that broke the story, he found some of them by searching "Noam Dar racist". Like that's just something you do.
It's just f***ing lame from all parties.
