This article talks about several athletes that have run into some trouble using twitter. The worst offence came from Kansas City RunningBack Larry Johnson. Larry Johnson was suspended by the Chiefs over his use of the “homophobic f-bomb twice" during a twitter rant. Another athlete that ran into trouble was the very topical Carmelo Anthony. Anthony put a bounty out on KatStacks (Rapper Groupie?)claiming he would pay $5,000 to anyone who slaps KatStacks. Katstacks later claimed she would press charges on Anthony which prompted Carmelo to claim his twitter was "Hacked". Twitter has helped athletes connect to fans but some athletes don't need to be connected to fans.
