The Finger Wag – Athletes using Twitter and Social Media to their Disadvantage

You may remember awhile back we highlighted a great moment in Santonio Holmes social networking career. In summation he told a fan who vilified him for harassing women to kill himself. Granted he said it much better than I just did there: U shud try finding the worst thing that you could drink n kill urself

Great stuff there.

Well don’t worry folks Santonio didn’t do it! He spoke to NJ.com
and had this to say for himself:

“It wasn’t me,” Holmes said. “I never tried to defend myself on that topic among anyone on Twitter or among anyone that tried to ask me for interviews. I would definitely be accountable for my actions if I did say it.”

So what does one do when their twitter account is hacked? According to twitter.com the proper move is:

“It’s best to take action as soon as possible if updates are appearing in your account that you did not intend to have posted or approve.”

So I assume Santonio did just this and came back on and told everyone what time it was. Wake and Bake time of course.

So what did Santonio have to say on his first tweet since the big trade to the Jets:

Morning, the lessons from my bad choices are never forgotten, only to b utilized the next go round! On 1:15 PM Apr 13th 2010 from UberTwitter

Would of those lessons be not using password1 as your twitter password?

Also, if you didn’t find this post hilarious I would just like to say now that my account was hacked.
