He was what, about 13? Come on!
Stinks it really does, then exposing it is even worse.Going back through players tweets from when they were a teenager. Classy
That 'their' is more offensive than the tweet itself.Under investigation for poor grammar too, I’d imagine
Journalists would sell out their own mother for a story. And in todays world, everyone is a journalist.Is it any wonder why trust and respect for journalists is at an all-time nadir? I know very few people who've ever cared about the dredging up of a teenager's tweets but these stories keep materializing, so I guess someone is eating this crap up.
I doubt journalists found the tweets. It’s those dumb football Twitter accounts.Is it any wonder why trust and respect for journalists is at an all-time nadir?

The worst of the worst them lotI doubt journalists found the tweets. It’s those dumb football Twitter accounts.
all the people getting on their high horses about it will most likely work in a much less ethnically and racially diverse field. I’m sure Bowen has many more friends from different backgrounds than your average person who starts making something out of this. He was a teenager chatting shit to a friend when nobody gave a feck about his Twitter. Big deal.Stinks it really does, then exposing it is even worse.
Considering Cavanis punishment, they sure as feck should punish Bowen.It was 9 years ago, he was a child and what he said wasn't really that bad.
If he gets any sort of punishment for this it will be a joke.
"I was an idiot when I was a kid, I was trying to be funny, I'm embarrassed I did it and sorry" should be the end of this.
They will punish him, i'd be shocked if they dont. They have to now, since they did it for every minor incident in the past.Considering Cavanis punishment, they sure as feck should punish Bowen.
They should of but apparently they didn't taught much.Don't they teach grammar in UK schools?
N apparently. It's obviously a shitty thing to type and by 15 you're old enough to know better but as others have said he was technically a child and he wasn't a professional footballer then.Does the blocked out hashtag begin with a W or an N?
It’s all over Twitter if you really want to knowDoes the blocked out hashtag begin with a W or an N?
I honestly can’t believe people have time to search out that shite. I did loads of stuff that offended people when I was a youth, thankfully no twatter/ Facebook etc around then.Don't think anything should be made of this, he was 15.
It won’t. The furore over Cavani will have set a precedent. If it was let go the shitstorm over that will be greater than the actual offence9 years ago...feck me let it go.
Cavani is a man in his mid 30s. Bowen was a kid and posted that a decade ago.Considering Cavanis punishment, they sure as feck should punish Bowen.
My thought exactly.Don't they teach grammar in UK schools?
Whatever your feelings about that, historical tweets are not exempt from punishment whether they’re social media justice or from professional bodies.Cavani is a man in his mid 30s. Bowen was a kid and posted that a decade ago.
Big difference.
The hashtag is absolutely racist.Not even racist in my opinion.
Shouldn’t that be, ‘ me thoughts exactly’?My thought exactly.
He won't get a ban or a fine. He was a child.Whatever your feelings about that, historical tweets are not exempt from punishment whether they’re social media justice or from professional bodies.
If pundits are weighing in with their opinion and the fallout over the ex FA chairman Greg Clarke still raw, I can’t see anything other than a ban and fine.
Maybe I'm not well-versed enough in racial epithets and such, but what could be the word starting with W?Does the blocked out hashtag begin with a W or an N?
