Patriots Cheerleader Learns the Dangers of Social Networking
We thought the member of the Patriots who would face the most scrutiny this week would be Bill Belichick. But then came cheerleader Caitlin Davis, who decided to post some pictures of herself doodling swatsikas on a passed-out friend out on Facebook, which then found their way onto Deadspin.
The Patriots gave her the boot and now the sports blog reports the cheerleader and her boyfriend have promised to punish it for running the snapshots.
Caitlin has sworn vengeance against Deadspin — as did her equally unhappy boyfriend, who is currently deployed in the military — so we’ll see if this story takes an even stranger turn that it already has in the coming months. Hope not.
Watch your ass, A.J. While you may have survived the post-World Series win Philadelphia, and employment with over benevolent Metrocop overlords, we don’t know if you can take an angry military man who’s primed and ready to go all Jack Bauer on you.
We’d like to take this opportunity to remind everyone out there with a Facebook page to always untag pictures that you wouldn’t want the whole Internet to see. A picture of you hovering over a body covered in swastikas would definitely meet that criteria.

Haven’t people learned from others mistakes yet?

it’s sickening that some commenters have to say about this girl: “what’s the big deal? it’s just a college prank.”
this girl puts herself in the public eye and then proudly displays her hate on the net. my question is: did she learn to hate in college or was it just a result of growing up in Boston?
and stop with the college prank excuse: she is 18 years old. most likely she drives, she drinks, she has sex — does all the things adults do. why shouldn’t she be responsible for what she does? after all, she herself — nobody else — posed for this picture and posted it on the net. what’s more — she doesn’t even look drunk — she did this knowingly.
some people find her appalling. is her family proud of her now? if she had any class whatsoever she would issue an apology to this guy, to her family, and to the people of Boston. instead she defends her actions on TMZ in poorly worded English by saying she wasn’t alert.
Why doesn’t anyone care about the kid she victimized? this boy is wearing this stupid girl’s writing on his skin. and it’s swastikas, penises, and disgusting doodles.
why is this ok? how is this funny? wake up commenters. racism is never a joke. victimizing people is not funny. commenters who hate may think it’s ok — are they all from Boston?
