Article on athletes and twitter. Some athletes have gotten in trouble for voicing things over twitter. It seems as if more and more of them are getting in trouble like noted in the article J.R. Smith and Antonio Cromartie being fined. What do you think about it? Should athletes be able to give unfiltered feedback on things? Or do they need to have regulations and things to consider before posting their "tweets".

Curious to see what you guys think about this. Glad nobody from Chicago or carolina (my teams) act like fools on twitter.

You have the right to tweet "My boss has a needle dick." No one can make you take that down, but if your boss sees it and fires you for that remark, that's also completely within his rights as your employer. This is a similar situation.
