ESPN Cleveland Analyst Tweets A "Boston Massacre" Joke About Celtics Vs. Cavs And People Are None Too Pleased

C’mon guys. Are we getting this sensitive? Harmless jokes about historical events that happened like 250 years ago are now gonna spur us into a Twitter frenzy? Relax. I understand the immediate connection to the marathon, but it clearly wasn’t that. The Boston Massacre is a thing that happened. It most certainly happened long enough ago to make bad jokes about it now. This isn’t even one of those “yeah maybe I wouldn’t have said it…” situations, this is straight up if you’re offended by this then you are trying WAY too hard to be offended. I have no idea who this but there’s really no reason to attack him about this at all. If you think a “Boston Massacre” reference is a reference to the marathon bombing then maybe crack open a history book. If he’d actually made a joke about the marathon then I’d be the first to put his head on a spike, but this is nothing. It really is.

PS – Losing by 31 is a massacre.
