Some coaches who haven’t banned twitter have advised players to treat it like a 140 character press conference.  In other words, don’t say anything there you wouldn’t broadcast to the media. (good advice for everyone really)

So should the player have been fined.  Should players be allowed to tweet freely? Vote in the poll.
