More on Pro Athletes and Teams on Social Media

As blogged about a week ago Social media and professional athletes has become a new problem. Recently ESPN examined the different professional sports leagues to better understand the policies for player's use of twitter. Many of the leagues are the same and some quite different. They either embrace the new idea of getting your own voice out there, or simply hate the idea. In my opinion i do not like to hear what many of the players have to say outside of news conferences. Often many of their opinions cause harm to the integrity of the organization(team).

  2. Listen, athletes are going to post tweets, updates, and check-ins so the least each individual could do stay true to self-accountability. Like Jim Rome says, "if you tweet it, then own it."
