Baltimore Ravens condemn racist n-word tweets and homophobic slurs made on Twitter by their player Patrick Ricard

Old tweets by Baltimore Ravens fullback-defensive lineman Patrick Ricard resurfaced Sunday morning showing him repeatedly using the n-word and homophobic slurs with random Twitter users.

At least 15 tweets that were dug up showed the 24-year-old repeatedly calling people f****ts and using the n-word between 2011 and 2015.

The tweets emerged just as the Ravens were preparing to face off against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Ricard, a second-year player, was inactive for Sunday's game against Kansas City, the day after the tweets came to light.

Ricard was also listed as inactive for last Sunday's game.

I wish we could go back to the days when people could call us anything and it really didn't bother us at all.It might have bothered us for a moment,but then we considered the source and went on.

5:51 it may be protected speech but that doesn't mean it's smart to say it or even worse put it on twitter where it can be dug up years later. It seems the younger generation just doesn't understand that.

Not only that but he hears the N word at least twenty times a day in the locker room. The double standard and the hypocrisy of political correctness is sickening. America is in for a rude awakening

Welcome to the digital age, still have nothing to hide now??? Still think people who want to be left alone and not tracked has something to hide still????

This is exact proof that anything you do or say, someone will try to use against you no matter how many years old it is, and you dumb ass people of america buy it hook line and sinker every damn time... Hell they are even doing it to Keven Heart and all of them too... For post he did like 10 or 20 years ago where he already apologized...

So just you wait until they have lots of drones flying in our sky recording and tracking all of you, don't think the cops won't be coming to do a raid on you for you giving an aspirin to a friend that was caught on camera, and they will claim it was a illegal drug sale, and you will have to prove your innocents, and how can you if it happened years ago and your forgot???

You say it won't and can't happen yet it has and does and is!!!! and if not it will, especially if they are doing it now with media or tweets or social media post from 10 years ago...
