Social media and sports has now lead to an additional way for us to follow our favorite teams, players and get breaking news before the media some times. However the leagues and teams are now setting rules as to how they and players can utilize this medium.

Today, San Diego Chargers player, Antonio Cromartie was fined $2,500 for tweeting about the food they received. Good luck P.R. departments.....your world has official changed. But is there a larger issue........freedom of speech, freedom of the press? Can contracts, labor negotiations and common sense keep up with technology??
I guess I wonder who is right and who is wrong?
Sssh! Women and men be careful what you tweet, it could be used in the future.
