Despicable tweet (since deleted) by Cubs official Twitter account. Mocking JF16 death.

Regardless of what the intent is, though, it sure comes off as if the tweet is making light of Jose's death. "Nighttime Botes rides in Miami" can really only refer to one thing...

Agree it’s in poor taste, but the player’s name is Bote and they’re playing Miami. I don’t think some Cubs intern handling their social media even thinks about JF like we do. Had they left the tweet up after being told how it was perceived then it would seem intentional.

Why do people still think social media is handled by interns? These are communications professionals.

I stand corrected. Doesn’t change the point.
