NFL stars Chad Ochocinco & Shawne Merriman bring trash talk to Twitter
It all started with a tweet.
Cincinnati Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco called out San Diego Chargers LB Shawne Merriman on Twitter earlier this week and the resulting exchange begs the question: will athletes use Twitter to trash talk?
Here’s the exchange between Ochocinco and Merriman on Twitter as well as Merriman’s response video from 12 Seconds.tv.
Players know fans and the media are following along on Twitter so is this exchange any different from trash talk via the traditional media? Do you think this will be the first of many similar incidents on Twitter? Why or why not? What do you think?
