Mo'ne Davis asks Bloomsburg to reinstate player

"Disney is making a movie about Mo'ne Davis?" he wrote. "WHAT A JOKE. That slut got rocked by Nevada."

What would possess a junior baseball player at Bloomsburg University to call a 13-year old a "slut". Former Bloomsburg baseball player, Joey Casselberry was released from the athletic program after a series of tweets were made in reaction to Davis' new disney film.

The Pennsylvania School condemned Casselberry's Comments and removed him from the program for violating the school's social media athletic code. Casselberry tweeted a two-tweet apology saying, “An example that one stupid tweet can ruin someone’s life and I couldn’t be more sorry about my actions last night. I please ask you to…. Forgive me and truly understand that I am in no way shape or form a sexist and I am a huge fan of Mo’ne. She was quite an inspiration.” 

The 13-year old Davis had said she was upset with the statement Casselberry made but has nonetheless asked for him to be reinstated. Davis said,

”While I admit I was pretty hurt when I read his comments, I felt sad that he was dismissed from the team…,” the Philadelphia pitcher wrote. “I am sure Joey Casselberry has worked very hard to get where he is and dreams of playing in the major leagues. For this reason, I'm asking you to please allow him back on the team so that he can continue to chase his dream. He made one dumb mistake. I'm sure he would go back and change it if he could.”
