Jonathan Mael,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], new media coordinator for MLB.com, recently published a tweet in which he compared New York Jets' offensive lineman Oday Aboushi to former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez.

Aboushi, who is of Palestinian decent, is not being convicted of murder, nor has he been convicted of any crimes at all.
Mael's tweet stems from a rather bizarre and very untraditional Yahoo sports article , in which Aboushi was vaguely connected to an anti-semitic activist group. But as ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Aboushi was not quoted and was hardly mentioned in the piece.
But what advances the ineptitude of Mael's tweet, is that the source of the Yahoo article was "", a noted extremist right wing publication that is more slanderous bigotry than actual journalism.
Mael issued an apology for his comments after deleting the original tweet.

I apologize to the organization and to Obay Aboushi for my insensitive and offensive tweet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. 1/2

The comparison was beyond inappropriate and did not reflect my true beliefs. 2/2

But it's difficult to forgive someone, especially one who works in new media,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who overreacts to an uniformed peice detailing blatantly misguided slander, and projects his overreactions to the general public.
To make matters worse,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mael even misspells Aboushi's first name in the apology tweet.
