The Houston Rockets have fired the employee responsible for sending an
offensive tweet to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday.
With the Rockets leading late in Game 5 and set to eliminate the Mavericks,
the Rockets' official Twitter account sent a tweet with a gun emoji next to a
horse head emoji, the implication being obvious that Houston was about to put
Dallas out of its misery.
火箭开除了在周二对小牛队发攻击性推特的职员.
在火箭第五战后段领先, 且要击败小牛时, 火箭官方推特发出了有一把枪及一颗马头
的推特, 此意涵很明显的表示休士顿即将淘汰达拉斯了.
It wasn't exactly an appropriate tweet, but the employee's firing surprised
many on Wednesday. Chad Shanks, the employee in question, and the team's
now-former digital communications manager, sent out a three-part tweet
addressing the situation while also changing his Twitter bio to read: "Will
probably be tweeting less about basketball now."
这可不是非常适合的贴文, 但这位职员在周三被开除也让许多人惊讶. 他是Chad Shanks,
火箭队数位传播的经理, 他po了三段推特说明了状况, 而他也将自己Twitter上的自传改为
: "以后可能会少发现在篮球赛的推特了."
Sometimes you can go too far. I will no longer run @HoustonRockets but am
grateful to the organization that let me develop an online voice.
I did my best to make the account the best in the NBA by pushing the
envelope, but pushed too far for some and for that I apologize.
I hope there's another organization out there in need of someone willing to
take chances and create engaging social content. I hope.
他本人在推特上表示:
"有时候你可能会太超过. 我再也不会在火箭工作了, 但我对他很感激, 它让我能在网络
发声."
"为了让这个帐户在NBA里变得最出色, 我尽我的力做最好, 而为此我挑战界线, 但对
有些人而言这太超过了, 我道歉."
"我希望现在还有团体需要人制造社群网络话题, 我希望."
Even Dirk Nowitzki found himself asked about the tweet, using the opportunity
to take a jab at Gersson Rosas, the former Mavericks general manager and
current Rockets VP of basketball operations.
Dirk on "unfortunate" @HoustonRockets tweet: "The guy behind the mobile phone
was a little too excited or something. Maybe it was Gersson."
当Nowitzki被问到这则推特时, 他酸了一下前小牛队的GM Gersson Rosas, 也是火箭现在
篮球营运的副总裁.
他表示: "那个躲在手机后面的人可能是太兴奋还是怎样, 也许他是Gersson."
