The official Twitter account of the UAAP Season 75 came under fire Sunday.
The official UAAP Season 75 Twitter account (@UAAPSeason75) came under fire Sunday when they tweeted the result of the game between the Ateneo de Manila Blue Eagles and the National University Bulldogs, wherein they called the Bulldogs 'overrated.'
- Coming from the official Twitter account, this is harsh. // “@UAAPSeason75: ADMU dominates overrated NU, 89-65 #collegehoops”
- Dear @UAAPSeason75: Deleting those uncalled for tweets won't make it right. I believe you owe NU and UAAP fans an apology. Thanks.
- WUW overrated? May ganun? :)) “@UAAPSeason75: ADMU dominates overrated NU, 89-65#collegehoops”
- @HecklerForever @uaapseason75 whether it's true or not, this is not something an official twitter account of a league should say in public.
- @UAAPSeason75 Lots of issues tonight. Hope it gets cleared ASAP :) #UAAP75
- @UAAPSeason75 define overrated please...
- @UAAPSeason75 wow! You're supposed to represent all schools. Overrated pala ha! #bias
- @UAAPSeason75 bad. very bad mistake. #ysoharsh?
- Bakit kailangan may "overrated"? “@UAAPSeason75: ADMU dominates overrated NU,89-65#collegehoops"
- Hindi ko kinaya si @uaapseason75. Gumawa ng bagong definition ng 'overrated', dinelete ang tweets at sinisi pa ang iba. Rurok.
- THIS IS NOT HOW YOU DEFINE OVERRATED. “@UAAPSeason75: NU played a tough fight today.... Just to explain the 'overrated' adjective. #UAAP75”
- Hi @UAAPSeason75! Hope that you'll hire responsible interns. Every tweet from you, whether positive or negative represents the league.
- Either it was a deliberate show of bias or intern doesn't really know what the word means. Sad in both counts @UAAPSeason75 @HecklerForever
- Oooh. @UAAPSeason75 deleted the tweets. Still, an apology to NU and its fans would be good.
- @UAAPSeason75 oh boy you guys are in big trouble, mistake after mistake. A lot of explaining to do with all the offensive remarks.
- The UAAP Season 75 account deleted the offending tweet and apologized, explaining that it was an intern from the University of the East who posted the message.
- Apologies for the 'overrated' comment. An intern from UE was operating the account during the Ateneo-NU game. The comment is uncalled for..
- ...and does not reflect the UAAP's stand on the game. We will enforce guidelines tighter next time and ensure that no such comment be made..
- ...again. To all UAAP fans, we apologize for the mistake. - UAAP Online Media Bureau
- But the account drew flak again for not taking full responsibility and for naming the school where the intern came from.
- @UAAPSeason75 Your next apology should be to that UE intern you impliedly called careless and/or stupid.
- Nakailang "fouls" na ang @UAAPSeason75 today? OK lang mag-sorry at walang sinisisi #UAAP75
- @uaapseason75 calls NU bulldogs overrated, then apologize..not after pointing its finger at a UE intern.
- @HecklerForever Hell yeah! I'm an ADMU fan what was done to NU & the UE intern was a foul. A user acct like @UAAPSeason75 better be smarter.
- Nanira na nga sa naunang tweet, nanira pa din sa apology? Adik lang @uaapseason75 !? Ok lang sana kung di na sinabi na "intern from UE yun"
- @UAAPSeason75 uhhh...people who operate the uaap twitter acct need editing skills. I-reveal talaga na taga-UE? Pwede nman n intern lng.
- @UAAPSeason75 pero mas okay sana kung sinabi niyo na lang ang may gawa noon ay ang intern niyo at hindi pati school kung saan nag-aaral
- The UAAP Season 75 account said they did not mean to offend anyone by identifying the intern's school.
- Again, no intention to offend anyone by naming where the intern came from. Just clearing that the one who posted the tweet is not from ADMU.
- @uaapseason75 kids, you're making it worse. Whether the intern came from UE or AdMU, he is PART of your media bureau. His mistake is yours.1 like
- Dear @UAAPSeason75 if u have no intention to offend anyone by naming where the intern came from, why not say "isn't from ADMU" #sus
- @UAAPSeason75 Whoa! Do u really have to say it came from an intern of the Univ of the East?#disappointing apology #strike2
- The UAAP Season 75 account is handled by the UAAP Online Media Bureau, not by ABS-CBN Sports.
- @UAAPSportsTV is ABS-CBN's UAAP account. The account that tweeted "overrated" is@UAAPSeason75, wc is the account handled by media bureau.
