On 29 July 2014, Tommy McGuigan posted a tweet, which was described as antisemitic and which he later removed. McGuigan later apologised for the remark, claiming it was written as a joke and was meant as "nothing serious". McGuigan said he had passed his number onto a London-based Jewish columnist, who requested to speak with him in order to confront him over his comment. "I said it was meant as a joke, nothing serious. He agreed to let it go." On 3 August 2014, McGuigan posted a message with a racist and derogatory term for Hispanic people on his Twitter account: "“@ryanbulldog83 @McIlroyRory course. Sergio shitting his Spick pants. Happy Gilmore cunt”" in reference to
