Whilst not condoning anything that was said, why is stuff from over seven years ago being dragged up now?

Argentinians are annoyed at how the Argentine rugby team paid their respects to Maradona.
So people looked into various rugby players past stuff.

The joy of Social Media......

Matera was aged 18 to 20 young and foolish at the time. He has changed his views and issued an apology. UAR are "cutting their nose off to spite their face". I'm sorry but the endless dragging up of old social media posts and subsequent outrage is a joke what was acceptable in the past was just that , times change people move on.

Tigers new boy Matias Moroni has come out in defence of Pablo tweeting "Can't people change? To regret? It is not right nor do I justify what they wrote at that age. It was rectified and I can attest that he does not think so! He knew how to show his face. Apologize and do not hide behind a desk! Today Pablo Matera is my friend and my captain!"

Excuse the dodgy google translate

[johnthegriff]

Times change, attitudes change what was acceptable 7 or ten years ago may not be acceptable now and certainly what one said as a teenage or twenty year old may not be the same as as one would say or think as a 28 year old, these things from the past should not be held against him today.

I know someone who was involved in far right stuff some years ago. If you dug up his old social media you wouldn't recognise the bloke, who's renounced all that and works in a multiracial community.
People, especially young people, write things that are often stupid! I know, I teach them!

Parties involved have apologised, what they said was horrific and wrong, UAR have done the right thing by showing zero tolerance for this sort of behaviour, doesn’t matter if it the posts were written 10 minutes or 10 years ago.

Just curious, how come Argentinians were annoyed at the Pumas for this?

Well because whilst Argentina players wore black armbands the All blacks went into the middle of the pitch and laid a shirt with maradona's name on it.

Also got to realise how deep the rugby and football divide is in Argentina.
