Unfortunate Team Hashtags
Every year, thousands of well-intending Twitter users will slip their tweets unknowingly into a baseball Twitter search.

I’ve compiled a few, and graciously omitted those I see annually in my Chicago #Bears feed.

I don’t — um… Is this supposed to happen in rugby? They don’t seemed to be bothered that this gentleman has just seen through time or perhaps released his bowels, so I’m guessing it’s normal.
We all knew the Doctor Who joke was coming. #angels
