Twitter - Pro sportsmen/women

[Marshy77]

Is a twitter account more trouble than its worth for pro's? Read Leon Knights twitter account last which was imo disgraceful, the farce with Rio's, Joey Barton and other footballers being done for racism, religious postings etc I just can't see why they should be gettng involved or even posting about stuff that could potentially land themselves in trouble with either there team mates, clubs or the law.

:thup:

That probably covers it for most. It seem decent to get an insight into a pro's life but when they use it for slating or slaggin people of then it seems pointless and a massive problem for there clubs.

Think I'd use some stronger language than that but it might not go down so well with the mods...

Tend to follow a few male and female pros, some celebs, some of the sky sports team (golf, sky sports news etc) and a few guys from here. These guys are all adults and should have a modicom of common sense regarding their "position" as celebs and post accordingly. All for free speech but when it becomes insulting, abusive or racist they've over stepped a mark
