Seems as if a ‘crude’ sexual innuendo ended up on Henry Burris‘ Twittefeed. He pleads innocent. Details are sketchy but Twitter speculation is that the Calgary’s Herald and Sun were also hacked at around the same time. What’s interesting about this is that Burris and two newspapers experienced the same hacking. The Stampeders are investigating this internally.
But the president and COO said officials will get to the bottom of it “expeditiously,” but it is possible the player’s account was hacked and Burris deserves the benefit of the doubt in the meantime.
“We are aware of the situation and there remains a possibility that Henry’s account was compromised,” Lyle Bauer said in a statement.
“Regardless, our players and staff are fully aware of the consequences of any inappropriate social media activities.”
In an interview, Bauer said the football team takes its position in the community seriously and any behaviour that is detrimental to the organization is “dealt with.”
“One thing that is important is the reputation our players have in the community, so it’s very important that they behave in a manner that is associated with the Stampeders and the professionalism of the club,” he said.
