    An old, offensive tweet from the account of Villanova guard Donte DiVincenzo re-emerged just as he was being named Most Outstanding Player of the #FinalFour. https://usat.ly/2Gs7rxW  #NCAAChampionshippic.twitter.com/Ko0syiZli7

        Ridiculous to try and ruin a great night for this kid over a quote of a song when he was 14. Stop trying to stir up problems

        When a reporter wants to steal the limelight from a young man who just earned it on the court. Now that’s journalism at its @USATODAY BEST

        So the song itself isn't offensive but the 14 year old quoting the song 7 years ago is? Can I get a copy of the rules please?

        Why is it that he can quote a song lyric and that's a problem - yet nobody questions the song lyric itself? #doublestandard #stupid

        Did you guys just call Delaware’s largest city, where one of your more successful properties is based, a “suburb of Philadelphia?” Get all the way out of here.

        It’s ridiculous of course, but “suburban white kid” probably fits in better with the narrative he’s pushing

        It's an all-around lazy story. White kid at fancy private high school tweets rap versus as a teenager is just such a dumb angle, and the fact they're not even using the property that covered his high school career - myself being one of those journalists - is even lazier.

        I'm as PC as they come but goddamn this is stupid. He was 14 and quoting a song lyric. As a society, we need to find better things to do with our time.

        A white kid tweeting a rap song is somehow offensive... but the song is fine and the rapper should be released from prison... what a fucked up world.
