Bloomsburg University Athlete Kicked off Team After Offensive Mo’ne Davis Tweet

BLOOMSBURG — A baseball player at Bloomsburg University has been kicked off the team after a vulgar tweet aimed at Little League baseball star Mo’ne Davis.

Friday night, junior Joey Casselberry took to Twitter after finding out the Disney Channel plans to make a movie about the Little Leaguer from Philly.

But it’s one word Casselberry used that got so many people upset.

In a tweet that has since been deleted, along with the Twitter account, the former first baseman Tweeted Friday night, “Disney is making a movie about Mo`ne Davis? What a joke. [She] got rocked by Nevada.” Except he didn`t say “she.” He used another “S” word.

“Obviously it was wrong for somebody that old to say something so rude to such a young person,” said Zachary Jacobson, a sophomore at Bloomsburg University.

“People do say things,” explained senior Eric Stone. “They don’t really think about what they’re saying when they say it. Once they’re out on social media, they’re out there. You can’t really take it back.”

At 13 years old, Mo’ne Davis became an overnight sensation after she became the first girl to win a game and pitch a shutout in the Little League World Series.
