I say intelligent.
There's no writers in between to distort what is said. A message sent to the public is a message sent to the public regardless of how it gets there.
Continuing to talk to the media is simply a different way of sending messages to the public and responding on Twitter is simply another way of sending messages to the public in response to what's being said in public.
It's your own personal media outlet.
The idea of discrediting messages sent through social media websites is ridiculous because mainstream media quickly picks up tweets and make news out of them the same as if the information were given to a reporter.
It was dumb for basketball players to use it during halftime. But it is the easiest way out there to communicate with fans and with media. It is serious for most major sports athletes. But it seems when it comes to Floyd there is a group of people dismissing it.
just shows u how far ahead of his time ALI really was...the man had NO twitter, facebook, CNN, PPV, USAToday, no internet, no rappers shouting him out...he did it with what he had...
Its brilliant, we get the amusement of seeing what our favourite fighters are up to, laughing at fighters arguing and its even helped make some fights. As far as being a fighter and using it its wise, it keeps u in touch with ur fans, helps attract new fans and thus fight sales. It also gives u the chance to tell ur side of the story on certain things or just voice ur opinion on something without having to have a reporter twist ur words or make a big deal out of something ect ect...
bingo.......
Twitter is the main source for pretty much all journalism now.
As crazy as that is, it's the sad truth.
How many articles do we read in general where it says "According to so and so's Twitter..."
It was obviously a smart move by Mayweather to do what he did on Twitter. Just look how the media was all over it in a matter of hours.
It's the age that we live in. Via Twitter or Facebook, the news travels MUCH faster now and it also gives athletes (or celebs) a platform to speak publicly at anytime they want.
