The published a photo of New England Patriots quarterback Kevin O’Connell on Sunday, and as a result, it ran this apology on Tuesday:
A photo on Page C6 in Sunday’s Sports section showed Patriots rookie quarterback Kevin O’Connell wearing a wristband with inappropriate language written on it. The photo did not meet the Globe’s journalistic standards and should not have been published.So what was that inappropriate language? You can see a close-up of the wristband here. It said, “My d–k is tiny too!” That’s classy.
I have no idea why O’Connell was wearing the wristband. Did he write it to make a joke to his teammates? Did one of his teammates write it to play a joke on him? But I do know the caption under the photo makes it all the better: “The Patriots are refining Kevin O’Connell’s mechanics, but they believe he has the tools to be a top-flight quarterback.”
