Our sports stars need to be trained on social media etiquette

The world has become very small because of the power, reach and popularity of social media. As much fun as it can be fun; social media can either make or break one; social media can be used for good or evil. Social media is very powerful and all should be careful when using it.

One would ask why I bring this up, but I have been rather disturbed by how some of our sporting heroes, who we all look up to, behave and interact on social media. Some have even gone to the extent of exchanging harsh, unpalatable unprintables on social media, all in the view of hordes of other social media audiences.
