Good story from ESPN. Opens with experiences from our very own Tyler Luatua.

Wow, the 50 year old guy in that article, what a loser!


I would highly vapprove if any of our IE brethern can get this article forwarded to our buddy Fister and/or Grubl.

Any grown men stalking and/or threatening kids on twitter is beyond stupid.

I mean the one guy in Luatua's case had kids for lords sake. Thats who they are going to look up to.

Yeah these people are being dumb. At the same time, if a kid really doesn't want people to "bump into them" at an ice cream shop or a movie, then he shouldn't be telling anybody who wants to know where he's going. The harassment is a bit much from the fans though.

Look lets be honest, im not defending grown ups talking to kids like that but these kids all have twitter accounts for a reason, they absolutely love the attention they get.

This is why social media is fucking stupid

Exactly. Don't have a fucking account if you don't want to deal with all the baggage that comes with it. Nobody (except the millions who do Twitter) cares to see:
