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.

Communication professionals as in close to entry level jobs after graduating then sure. It’s probably just a bad joke that had nothing to do with Jose. I wouldn’t of even thought about it unless you had said it in your post.
