Even though Joe Cowley’s account, CST_Cowley, has reappeared on Twitter, the Sun-Times reporter won’t be tweeting.
The Sun-Times had to reactivate it to prevent other people from tweeting under that account. In an email this evening, sports editor Chris De Luca said there are no plans for Cowley to resume tweeting.
I made a bad assumption earlier today that the reappearance of the account, which was taken down quickly after Cowley made some offensive tweets about women in late April, meant he soon would be tweeting again.
My apologies to Cowley and the Sun-Times.
It was a fair assumption to believe he would eventually start tweeting again. I still think he will down the line.
