@IHATETHEPATRIOTS would have been funny. It’s hard to believe that filters would not catch the n-word burried inside a sentence without spaces. More disturbing is the type of racist mind that would originate a sentence expressing that despicable sentiment.

This says more about Twitter’s policies and filters as a company than it does about the Pats.
“New England Patriots Apologize For Sending Out N-Word In Twitter Promo”
And when will Twitter be apologizing for that name’s existence in the first place (not to mention it’s continued existence even after this incident)?

Some idiot gets something through a filter. How is that a story? We should not be giving them attention.

This is why computers will never replace human beings when it comes to judgment calls.
I’m not sure it’s racist, but I agree that IHATETHEPATRIOTS expresses an utterly despicable sentiment, deeply disturbing to any right thinking football fan. Go Brady!
Or did I miss your point?
Seems like Twitter should be apologizing.

So, are there two Ss on the handle
because the guy is as horrible a speller as he is a person,
or because there were already multiple Twitter users
with the name (“IHATEN…”, “IHATEN…2”, “IHATEN…3” etc.?
Yeah, but sports fans get a pass on this string.
. . . because they buy the beer, the junk food and big trucks that are advertised. And pay top dollar for primo stadium seats.
