The world may never know because, as we suggested -- the Tweeter has been fired. Jonathan Feigen writes:
A day after the Rockets Twitter account posted, removed and then apologized for a tweet to celebrate the end of the first-round series with the Mavericks, the team dismissed Chad Shanks as its digital communications manager.
“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,” Shanks wrote.
“Sometimes you can go too far. I will no longer run @HoustonRockets (the team’s twitter account) but am grateful to the organization that let me develop an online voice.”
