Re: Santonio Holmes invites fan to commit suicide, Twitter style

what he said was dumb, especially given the climate he is in right now. but what he said, i assume is common twitter talk. idk i dont have twitter but it seems like "go kill yourself" or "walk into oncoming traffic" is just a phrase made in jest.

but players should know better. interacting with fans goes both ways and santonio cant have just the fame of a public sports figure and not the inspection or scrutiny that comes with it.

the comment that got me, or atleaast let me into santonio thinking is the "you dont pay me" part to a fan. really ahole, the rooneys are going to pay you if no one goes to a game or doesnt watch on tv?

players like this need to realize the NFL is for the fans. we pay the owners, players, trainers, private jets, stadium personnel, the poeple who pour our beers. all that we ask is that you appreciate your privileged status by showing up on time, working your butt off and dont do anything to piss off the fans. like telling us we cant critize you on your twitter account after yet another alleged incident b/c we what? we dont pay your salary? that aint going to go over well in the rooney family or in the burg.

GMSCUD - yeah, lets face it. these guys who constantly get in trouble are young and dumb and cant handle the responsibility of being rich or representative of a franchise.
