    Don't care about them. It is only a friendly afterall.

    Ah jaguars for life or what ever your name was. You left a legacy for the ages 🙂

    Pablo Matera stripped of captaincy after tweets emerge from 9 years ago... when he was 18. Social media people, it's a minefield.

    'the Fern is my social media' T-shirts please

    @Kiwiwomble I've seen the tweets in Spanish (all from 2012). Quite sexist and racist (towards other South Americans, black people and jews), and sometimes both. Sometimes they were bad jokes, but most of them weren't. I'm not going to post the text here.

    He's not from Bariloche is he?

    I'd hate for things I said to people and about people when I was 18 being brought up ten years later.

    Is it news that teenagers say stupid shit?

    @Kirwan There's a difference between just saying stupid shit and racism (and sexism). When I was 18, I knew what racism was and would never say/write something like that (didn't feel any inclination to, either), but I've been on the receiving end at that age. Age is no excuse here.

    But ... people can change. So digging it up is pathetic.

    If there was any risk of me becoming "famous", I'd just delete my account and start a new one.

    People mature, especially from 18 to 28. Judging a person today, for comments made ten years ago is wrong IMO.

    If he's apologised for the comments that should be the end of it.

    Social media mobs are gross.

    Agree more with your edit.

    I'd reccomend that for everybody, even if you aren't famous. Never use your real name (where possible) and ditch the accounts regularly. Never post drunken photos of parties, etc.

    Google search yourself and make sure the results are what you want potential employers to find. And once a year I delete all my old Tweets.

    and that is the problem these guys face today.

    Remember Barnya, he went round deleting all sorts when he was applying for a job.

    I think theres a difference between some old mate having said something in the 60's when it was a hell of a lot easier to be ignorant and someone claiming that even though they probably posted from a smart phone (ie infinite knowledge) they were ignorant in 2012

    that's being said, yes, if he's changed then good, I hope it doesn't escalate too far

    I would have thought a professional sports outfit would have looked at this stuff, especially for a captain

    What a delicious paradox: Greatest captaincy performance in the history of Puma rugby gets condemned and booted all under the backdrop of Maradona idolation.

    Modern sensibilities suck!

    It was 8 years ago FFS, and did I read that he'd apologised at the time?

    I think I read he said something about it being a personal message to a friend, an in joke kind of thing
