I think the 1000 people that called him out was why he deleted it, not because he suddenly got morals

Dwayne Haskins’ family deserves an apology. They don’t need to hear about his professional “struggles” on the same morning of his untimely death.

RIP to Dwayne Haskins. He said he was gonna go to Ohio State the first time he stepped foot on campus as a little kid. And he became a Buckeye legend.
