re: Another reason why athletes should stay off twitter

settle down- he's allowed to protect himself and I guarantee what he said was nothing compared to what he had coming his way.

Everybody says athletes are stupid on twitter, but honestly if you could see some of their inboxes, you'd shite. People can be absolutely horribly disgusting and ignorant and do it unchecked. But when the athlete defends himself, he's the one in hot water.

Now I get that this is how that relationship goes, but everyone needs to keep incidents like this in context.

What Rocket said earlier is pretty true. Very few smart and well off people talk shite to celebrities on Twitter.
