The problem is it is a total overreaction. If time is an issue maybe they should have gone over his social media accounts back in 2012 when they brought him on, by then it was less than a year old. At the very most they could have said oh hey could you delete that tweet and you / we can make a statement. It's not like his is an advocate for pedophilia or does it himself. This is not a Jared from Subway issue.
But now because of a guy who will see no repercussion from what he says ever, another guy loses his job over a relatively benign comment.
