What? I'm a college student, am I not allowed to have a twitter or Facebook account?I agree. While I don't agree with players being trolled or attacked personally, this stuff is inevitable when they put themselves out there on twitter, etc. IMO they shouldn't be allowed to tweet. They are college football players and students. They don't need those kind of distractions.Just get over it. Twitter is an outlet. If a player goes to a restaurant or other public place he could hear the same things. If he allows himself to be essentially trolled then that is his fault and many players find themselves in fights and legal trouble because of it. There are a lot of great comments and constructive criticism as well in all media forms and you just have to filter out the ridiculous.
Them being on twitter actually supports one of my theories of why this team has struggled so much. These players are spoiled, propped up and think they are superstars. The first class treatment they receive goes to their head and I think that ultimately affect their play on the field. Instead of playing with heart, determination and a genuine love for the game, they make the mistake of thinking they are better than others and don't give it their all. They feel entitled are more worried about self promotion and being a star. Just think about how the Peter brothers or any of the other "animals" used to play. Those guys were insane and killed themselves every Saturday and didn't take anything for granted.
I don't think our players think they are better than everyone else and I don't think they take everything for granted. I would guarn-damn-tee you that if social media would've existed back when the Peter brothers were playing, they would've been on twitter and Facebook as well.
Oh, and I too would like to see snell kicked off the board if at all possible.
