Is Joey Barton right to tweet his angst?
It’s
fair to say that the comments of one Joseph Barton have created quite a stir in
the last few weeks, prompting many to question whether footballers should be
allowed to have personal Twitter accounts.
There
are a few clubs who have already banned
their players from using the social networking site and it is thought that
club managers, PR managers and maybe even agents will become so fed up with
‘tweeting’ that, before too long, footballers will be banished from Twitter
forever.
The
thinking is simple: a footballer might not think before he posts something on
the site and this could lead to big problems for the club, for fear of
‘bringing the game into disrepute’ or , at the very least, tongues wagging for
the wrong reasons. So, ban them from it completely.
