In the span of less than 24 hours, Chad Shanks went from being the Digital Communications Manager for the Houston Rockets to being the former Digitial Communications Manager for the Rockets, and it’s all due to a controversial tweet he sent.
After the Rockets beat the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5, Shanks sent a tweet showing a gun emoji shooting a horse emoji along with the words, “it will all be over soon.”
Though some enjoyed the tweet, many were offended by it and the imagery. The Rockets deleted the tweet, apologized for it, and fired Shanks.
