Vilma's questionable tweets

halloween 65 · 12-30-2011, 09:21 AM

If I truly said on this page what I would like to say I would be kicked off. A man, with a wife{woman} and 2 kids. And I applaud Vilma. I hope this was politically correct enough for ya!!!! Me, I'm not so sensitive......

Here's the problem. Rather than say to themselves, "You know, I think I disagree with this person", people are on the red-hot lookout. They are on the hunt for something offensive so they can be offended.

Don't botter me... I don't tweet.

I think he's starting to come out of the closet. I mean, that's what I got from the tweet anyway.

Every team needs a token gay guy. The Falcons have Ovie.

I love Vilma. The fact that he's made it as a successful player in the NFL might also point to the fact that he's a very physical, masculine male. In his mind, he probably DOESN'T get men having feminine tendencies. I mean...uhhhh...lots of testosterone out on that field on any given Sunday! His tweets don't bother me in the least bit, either! Carry on....JV!!!

I love Vilma, as our middle linebacker. I could care less what his opinions are that don't deal with football anyway. If you invite him over for dinner, then you can sit at the table and hash out differences in what you feel is right or wrong.

Social Media. This is what you open yourself up to.

There are many things that I love about the South. Etiquette was always one of them.

But, don't get me wrong, I love a beat down just as much as the rest of you.

But, let us, not-so-gentle people, focus our aggression on the proper targets: First, the Panthers, then the FailClowns.

Lots of added happy faces!!

I'm done here.

This thread is exactly why I advise my students to kill their Twitter accounts.

I don't care how "innocent" a comment might be, it will always have the opportunity to be taken out of context or manipulated to be something other than it was intended.

My suggestion to anyone considering posting a Tweet is to think about how it might play in a Grand Jury investigation.

Wise indeed sir. Personally, I have a facebook account and enjoy posting videos and one-liners whilst viewing myself as clever...

My only friends there are people I've known for nearly all of my 42 years...

People are just too damned eager to get offended. It's a big bad old world and, well...lets just say your advice is solid, but it probably falls on deaf ears.
