Personally I have to say yes it is. Given usually it doesnt show the best side of these athletes, for instance Roddy White (Atlanta Falcon all star Wide Receiver) just tweeted, "Why are the 49ers even wasting their time with Alex Smith (QB for 49ers)". And while Roddy had no right bringing this up and really no room to speak, the freedom of speech allows him to speak his mind, and lucky for sports fans, twitter allows these dumb athletes to make their thoughts (or lack of thoughts) public.
Not only this but it allows fans to make connections with athletes that they were never abel to do before. Being able to stay in contact with what these athletes have to go through on an everyday basis.
So for me: GO TWITTER! Keep on posting these usually dumb, but hilarious comments please!
The one reason I truly love twitter is because of these people I follow. My personal favorite is the ones making fun of celebrities. Can't get enough hearing the dumb things they say and do
ReplyDeleteIf you want to follow someone else who is very entertaining I would suggest Chad Ochocinco!
ReplyDeleteI think by the athletes posting these comments it brings a little more "drama" to the sport, especially during the off-season, when hard-core fans crave more news and information about the sport that they don't typically receive. And plus, drama provides great entertainment!
