This Might Explain Why The Cubs Had Porn On A Tweet From 2012

So, I was on Twitter yesterday and someone mentioned a crazy Cubs tweet. There was nothing out of the ordinary from the last couple days, but when you searched for it, here's what you eventually found.

In the since deleted tweet, the picture wasn't censored. It was from 2012 and everyone was wondering how in the hell was that tweeted and why it took so long for it to be deleted. Well, the answer to both might be because the Cubs had no clue it happened. Here's what Deadspin wrote yesterday.

So, you never know when you'll randomly stumble into some porn on the timeline.
