My reaction to the article is mixed. Since Facebook is an online site, anyone can access the information on it in some way. I think the students/athletes should not put personal, sensitive, or negative information on the site. If an administrator does find some negative comment on one of the student or athlete’s profile though, they should not assume that the person is an all around bad person. But, some of the messages could be just venting or describing a situation in practice that they did not think was right or they did not enjoy. Venting is something everyone does. It should not be held against a person. But a racial comment to someone on Facebook is a different story. I can see how administrators could get upset over that, messages like that have a point in getting recognized. It all depends on the situation that is being talked about. But on the other hand, I think the teachers’ should just leave the athletes alone. It’s none of their business of what’s going on in one of the athlete’s life. The more you butt into someone’s life, the more drama and chaos you will get.
What this article is going to do to my life is make it even more stricter with Facebook or any other website that has information on me. I will have to be more and more careful as I get older of what I say. I might want to rash out and say something but I will not be able to because someone might be able to get access to it.
