Social media incidents are no longer surprising. There have been numerous articles about people getting fired for using poor judgment when posting to their Facebook page or sounding off on Twitter.
It seems like people should know better, particularly athletes representing their country at the Olympic Games. Unfortunately, some of them don’t. During the first week several athletes were ousted from the Olympics for Tweeting racist remarks. An Aussie swimmer got in trouble back home for sharing racy photos. And a U.S. soccer star created controversy with her comments about one of the commentators. Looks like they didn’t think much about the repercussions before they hit Send. Fortunately, many other Olympians, including Gold medal winners Jessica Ennis and Ryan Lochte, are using social media the smart way. Their tweets have given us a peek at what it’s like to be an athlete at the Games which has endeared them to fans around the world. Thanks for being great on and off the field. |
