When’s the last time an athlete tweeted something that wasn’t idiotic?  Oh right – never.  The most recent athlete to use Twitter to make himself look like an ass is Nets rookie Terrence Williams.

“You guys talk about that, but my next Tweet says I love my situation, I love my teammates and you guys got to know that we’re all human and we hate losing,” Williams said. “It’s not a regret at all. It’s the best decision for me to come to New Jersey. I love it. I wouldn’t want to play at Charlotte or [Toronto]. I’m happy I’m here.”

He affirmed his commitment to the Nets after posting, “How would it be if Mr. Stern called my name 10 min earlier #9 or 5 min later #12 hmmmmmmmmm to bad I can’t live off what ifs.”

And that came after he posted, “Up early to the gym before practice to practice before practice, because NOW practice is my games. Welp that’s life.”

I don’t think anybody is going to fault Nets players for being frustrated, but Jesus Christ, man, use your head.  This is reason #527 for team executives to ban athletes from using Twitter.  It’s not a First Amendment issue, so it can definitely be done.  I’m really surprised no team has taken the initiative on this yet.  I mean, every single week – EVERY SINGLE WEEK – at least one athlete embarrasses his organization by writing something dumb on Twitter.

Anyway, I love that Terrence uses the term “welp.”  Other than that, though, decent tweet from him.  Relatively speaking, of course.  Most athletes type like illiterate teenage girls.  “OMG u r not gng to beleeve this i will score a td on sunday haterssss.”

Seriously, just fucking ban it already.  For everyone’s sake.
