Twitter Police Is Coming...I'll Tweet Again Later...

It sure does seem like these days that all the fun is being sucked out of sports. In these times the phrase "For the love of game" has longed since passed because all that is heard are things like "Did you hear 'Big Papi' took performance enhancing drugs?" or, "Did you hear Urban Meyer is now insanely rich with a contract that pays him $4M a year?"

In these struggling economic times for the majority of the American people we don't want to hear about massive contracts that pays coaches that much money when some people are trying to squeeze every last drop out of their check to provide for themselves or their families. When we finally do get home from work to watch our favorite team play we also don't like to hear that our team's star cheated the game by taking PEDs.

So, what does this little rant have to do with Twitter? We want to hear positive things, like the possibility of meeting our favorite player.

When we were young kids aspiring to be the next Michael Jordan, Emmitt Smith, or Tiger Woods we always wondered what it would feel like to be in their position right? Well, now with Twitter we have that opportunity. Stars like Chad Johnson, Courtney Paris, and Shaquille O'neal all have Twitter accounts and we can freely log on and see such  things as what they had for dinner or how practice was. Yes! All is right with the world we get to see what our favorite stars are thinking, even maybe during the course of a game after a big play!

Sorry I hate to disappoint you but, that doesn't look like it is going to happen. Thanks to the league commissioners and owners across the sports world that are being the "Twitter Police" they are cracking down on what their athletes are saying by monitoring what they post on their page or dictate the time of day in which they do it, they are the ones that are sucking the fun out of sports.

They are essential stripping the personalities away from our sports heroes. Who wouldn't want to hear what Tom Brady thinks about after a game winning touchdown, or what Tiger is thinking after he sinks another Master's clinching putt?

So, to all those "Twitter Police" out there I say drop all the bans on twitter and let your athletes have some fun by expressing themselves!
