I think this is going to be a cross-roads for professional athletes. Meaning that is hard as it is to leave the sexual assault stuff to the side for the moment (not trying to excuse it but trying to not let it over-ride everything), this is an object lesson in how not to use social media. Going at the owner almost certainly was the final straw for the Pats paying him anything.
This is what happens when you give stupid people an unfiltered megaphone. They shout their stupid all over the place and get it all over everyone.
