In some respects, Twitter is great. It’s a platform that gives people access to real-time information and changes how we consume media.

It also hosts some of the worst people on the internet who say terrible things under the veil of anonymity.

ESPN NBA reporter Royce Young and his wife, Keri, lost their daughter, Eva, back in 2017 when she was stillborn as a result of a deadly and rare medical condition called Anencephaly. It was an unthinkable tragedy for the Young family, and on Sunday, one Twitter user exploited that information to make an attack on Young because this Thunder fan disagreed with a sports opinion.

It was a totally uncalled-for tweet, and Young responded to it with tremendous class and restraint.

What in the world is wrong with people? Seriously, what is wrong with you to write something like this to a person you don't know? I don't agree with everything people say online but you keep it human. This is disgusting, wrong and inhuman behavior. It's not funny. It's cruel. pic.twitter.com/Lzv4QVFL1n — Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) April 22, 2019

Young let this user know that the tweet hurt his feelings, but in the immediate aftermath of that despicable tweet, the good part of Twitter showed up and rallied around Young.

NBA media personalities and fans all voiced their support for Young against the Twitter troll whose account was quickly deleted.

So sorry to see the message you received today, @royceyoung. We all saw what you went through back then. I hope through this troll, people look up your story and understand what a true servant's heart is all about. God bless you and your family today. — Cliff Brunt (@CliffBruntAP) April 22, 2019

To know the man @royceyoung is…check out his response!! #Respect👊🏾 — Antonio Daniels (@adaniels33) April 22, 2019

That guy was a coward. Reckless, heartless jerk, who’s so tough on Twitter he had to delete his account. Royce, we got you man. Much love to you & yours. 👊🏽 — Jorge Sedano (@SedanoESPN) April 22, 2019

Mr Young showed some serious class, restraint and humanity in his response. We should all try and take a page from his book. — Nico Toscani (@ChiTownNico) April 22, 2019

Royce, you are both an outstanding reporter and an outstanding person. I am proud to call you a professional colleague and I echo Cliff's sentiments. I hope the outpouring of support you're receiving lifts the spirits of you and your family today! — Murray Evans (@murrayevans) April 22, 2019

@royceyoung my thoughts and support goes out to you and your wife. I wish I could erase the insensitive comments someone directed your way. I hope the good wishes, respect, and love directed your way from all the rest of Thunder nation helps to ease your pain. — Melinda Redman 🇺🇸 (@mkr2400) April 22, 2019

@keri_young just want you to know that you and @royceyoung have been in my thoughts all day as I did not know the incident of your daughter until I saw that disgusting tweet. I am happy to see her legacy has brought a positive outcome to an entire country. Much love to you both❤️ — Oliver Klozoff (@nikeornothing23) April 22, 2019

Social media really does bring out the worst in society. Hate to see idiots just out trying to hurt people but kudos to @royceyoung for being a human. https://t.co/MH8pU9ZGiJ — Brandon Castel (@BCastOhio) April 22, 2019

Just got off a plane, but all the love to @royceyoung, a tremendous family man and colleague. We can have discussions about sports without people acting like garbage humans. There's no place for this anywhere. https://t.co/UKL4fiby9x — Erik Horne (@ErikHorneOK) April 22, 2019

I’ve met a lot of people in the NBA media and there are basically none I respect more than @royceyoung We can’t lose sight that there are actual people with lives and feelings on the other end of these handles Disagreement is part of twitter, I get it. But be a person please — Andrew Schlecht (@AndrewKSchlecht) April 22, 2019

I read a tweet that directed to @royceyoung made me sick. Can’t imagine how he felt/ It’s sport, going personal is foolish and absurd. If sports take this out of you, please stop. When I read Royce’s pieces i find always the true values of sport: passion, respect and culture. — MikyBerra (@MikyBerra) April 22, 2019

Keri responded to the tweet by urging people to become an organ donor.

In the last 2 years neonatal organ donation has gone up 300% because of our daughter’s legacy. If you’re mad at someone for being rude to Royce on Twitter, and feel like you want to do something about it, be a pal and sign up here to be an organ donor: https://t.co/xH0y8wIG9E ❤️ — Keri (@keri_young) April 22, 2019

On March 5, the family celebrated the birth of their youngest son, Everett.
