I've only recently started keeping an eye on Twitter. It's great for up-to-the-second sports news & gossip, so I feel I should defend it. It is shocking how many trashy people there are out there with time on their hands to troll & tarnish an otherwise amazing invention. Those comments are pretty tame compared to stuff you see directed at soccer stars, but still inexcusable nonetheless.
In the UK last year a 19-year-old university student actually got arrested & charged for some horrific racist tweets aimed at Fabrice Muamba, an English footballer of African descent who had a heart attack on the pitch & very nearly died in the middle of a match. His comments were in the worst possible taste & they would turn a sensible person's stomach to read them.
