We live in a time where microblogging and social media have made the world smaller but our circle of "friends" bigger. I remember my father buying the newspaper every morning and opening right up to the sports pages not to long ago, but it seems like those times are obsolete. With almost every professional athlete having a Twitter or Facebook page, we can now go straight to the source for all of our sporting news. Even the reporters covering these athletes through national media outlets rely heavily on their Twitter feed. But this comes with its pros and its cons. Though some people can satisfy their undying last "15 minutes of fame" through witty thoughts that may get re-tweeted, others are satisfied with simply "trolling" a pro athlete until they provoke an uncharacteristic backlash that makes sports centers "not so top 10." So while everyone has the equal opportunity to become a poetic microblogger , it may be causing more trouble than its worth.
