What are your feelings about athletes and their use of social media? Do you pay attention to what athletes post on social media, or could you care less?

    Personally I could care less, now if you try to take my booze away from me, we're gonna have a problem!

    Ah yes, this is my kind of tweet!

    Interesting past tweet from AB.

    I wouldn't know anything about English class, because I rarely attended it, and I could usually be found in the school bathroom, hanging upside down from the stall, sniffing glue.

    I love it when two guys argue amongst each other or call each other out, it’s fun to look at when I can understand what they are trying to say lol

    Sometimes the adage "It is better to look stupid than to open one's mouth and prove it." has direct and immediate application to social media postings by athletes, actors, politicians and others, including Joe and Jane Schmo.

    I personally could not care less about the musings of athletes unless it is on the topic of their respective sport.

    shut up and dribble.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    There is not a single athlete who i follow on social media. And i don't intend to change that anytime soon.

    I love sports, but the player's comments regarding non-sport topics, i couldn't care less about.

    Speaking of social media, Cam Newton takes a swipe at the Panthers and Teddy Bridgewater.

    Cam, they probably chose Teddy Bridgewater because they believe that he'll actually attempt to dive on fumbles instead of running from them.

    By the looks of his Tweet, AB probably hasn't been attending too many of his English classes either.

    I'm conflicted. Just can't figure out who should be the guru of my conscience.......Cher or Lebron. It's a delimma.

  • HydrantHydrant Posts: 7,773 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Maybe.......Antonio Brown or Bette Middler........maybe .....Colin Kaepernick or Debra Messing. What a headache!
