Mo’ne Davis asks Bloomsburg to reinstate player who sent offensive tweet
Davis appeared on “Sportscenter” on Monday, and gave her thoughts on the issue.
“Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone deserves a second chance. I know he didn’t mean it in that type of way, and I know a lot of people get tired of just seeing me on TV, but sometimes you’ve got to think about what you’re doing before you actually do it.
I know right now he’s really hurt, and I know how hard he worked just to get to where he is right now.
Davis said she’s reached out to the University, asking for Casselberry to be reinstated. She had not heard back from the school at the time of the interview. Video of Davis’ appearance can be seen here.
Casselberry’s tweet, which has since been deleted, was in response to the news that Disney Channel was going to make a movie about Davis’ life. Shortly after he sent the tweet, Casselberry’s account was deleted, and the University announced he had been dismissed from the program.
Calling for Casselberry’s reinstatement shows some incredible understanding from the 13-year-old Davis. What Casselberry did was stupid and immature, but Davis is willing to chalk it up to a mistake. She did admit that the tweet hurt, but said Casselberry was “hurt even more” for his actions.
