On Monday, March 7,2016 my school CHS had an assembly. This assembly was mainly focused on social media and had a few examples of how athletes have been effected by their tweets. One athlete in particular was Yuri Wright All-American corner back out of Don Bosco Prep in New Jersey. He was one of the most heavily recruited defensive backs in the nation. Michigan was the first college to offer Wright a scholarship to continue his football career. Though it all fell down when Yuri Wright posted various tweets that would derail his recruitment by these big name schools. After his tweets leaked the offer from Michigan was revoked and he faced a hard time trying to clear his name. Despite this he is now playing for University of Colorado.
Similar to this, many know Curt Schilling's daughter also experienced some twitter harassment. After Curt Schilling tweeted at his daughter congratulating her on her soon to be softball start some vulgar tweets began popping up after. In response to this Curt Schilling responded to these tweets saying he has many friends in Special Forces. With this being said Curt Schilling and his forces were able to locate all who were involved to resolve the issue.
