Social Media Fail of the Day: New England Patriots Thank Racist Twitter User




Social Media Fail of the Day: New England Patriots Thank Racist Twitter User


Whoever handles the Patriots' social media is probably not having a very fun Friday at work - assuming they are still employed.



To celebrate their 1 millionth follower on Thursday, the Patriots asked people to retweet an image of a digital jersey to receive a customized version with their Twitter handle on the back.



The account then tweeted out a thank you to an account with an extremely racist username, complete with an accompanying jersey emblazoned with the slur.

They have since deleted the offensive tweet and apologized for the "filtering" error.
