Social Kapital Joel Postman

According to a piece in today’s Sporting News, “Buck Burnette is your latest example of how not to use Facebook. The backup center for the Texas Longhorns is no longer on the team due to ‘unspecified violations of team rules,’ according to Texas. The real story of how he managed to Facebook his way off the team, however, may be far more specific and interesting than that bland statement. Sometime after the election results were announced, Burnette posted something very, very nasty under his ‘status’ line on Facebook that allegedly involved a racial slur in reference to Obama.”

No wonder MSNBC kept referring to “the Confederacy” on election night. Apparently there are those who think it still exists.
