Athlete...I absolutely think it's a good thing! Athletes, actors, and singers will continue to say stupid things with or without Twitter. Sure, they have every right to say what they want, but being in the spotlight comes with a price, so if a guy wants to tweet about someone being a racial or homophobic slur, he's going to have to face the consequences. It's the whole, with great power comes great responsibility thing. No one's forcing these guys to be on Twitter and make poor choices with said medium, but I think by enlarge most celebrities use it responsibly to get themselves closer to their fans.avrilanchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06067596724463654039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052819035106593439.post-91184656865890499562011-07-29T16:39:25.862-07:002011-07-29T16:39:25.862-07:00The social media age has brought a lot of benefits...The social media age has brought a lot of benefits to us fans, but has also got some celebrities and sports figures in trouble. Is it good for the game? I think it is. It also fans to become more in touch with the players, and also see them as humans, just like the rest of us...well most of us. BUT they have to realize that they are still in the spotlight and be very cautious about the content the post. I'm all for freedom of speech and will defend anyone's right to say whatever they want. However being celebrities that they are they must take into account that the media can and will use tweets or facebook posts to portray you the celebrity in a light that is mainly beneficial to them. But it is a lot of fun for the fans, so tweet away guys.puCrepeaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01863182749993602425noreply@blogger.com
