We don’t understand why people  can’t learn that these social networks can only ruin their career.  If you don’t believe us just ask Caitlin Davis, the ex-New England Patriots Cheerleader or Buck Burnette, the ex-Texas Longhorns and their racist comments towards President Elect Barack Obama.  It seems to be a trend; give a commentary or post pictures on Facebook where the world is at your doorstep and see what happens to your career.  Both Davis and Burnette are now both “EX” members of their team.

This time it was Jim Tartt the Florida Gators lineman who got his hand caught in the social network jar.  He joined a group on Facebook called “Africa Gives Nothing to anyone — except AIDS“.  We have no idea why someone or how someone could even create a group like this in the first place.  Yes the AIDS epidemic in Africa is overwhelming, but they definitely have more to offer the world than  just this serious disease…. Jim, maybe you should check out the geography and history sites of the internet and learn a little more about a continent:

“Tartt is unaware of Africa’s oil, natural gas, and mineral resources exported around the world,” said Spencer Hall of The Sporting Blog

If you don’t have a public Facebook profile, then our recomendation is to stay away unless you want the rest of the world to look into your life/profile on a 24 hours, 7 days a week basis.  This site can virtually lead individuals to trouble, and is often referred to as “FACEBOOKED“.  It’s so easy for people not to realize what they are accepting when someone sends an invite.  Most don’t read or understand what they are joining and just click “accept”.  Repercussions await in the darkest abyss of cyberspace.

Jimbo Tartt is still on the Florida Gators roster, and we’ll just have to wait and see if his actions will force him onto the path of those doomed before him.

For the second time in one week a public figure has been reprimanded for something that was found on the net. This time Texas Longhorns offensive lineman Buck Burnette posted an update on social network “FaceBooked”, otherwise known as Facebook, that was just a little racist.

The comment on Facebook, was posted just after the Presidential election was won by Barack Obama. Who if you didn’t know was elected the first African American President of the United States Of America. The racist comment read,

“all the hunters gather up, we have a #$%&er in the whitehouse”

Soon after this was posted, word hit head coach Mack Brown who immediately kicked Buck Burnette off the team. Before removing his facebook profile, Buck Burnette posted this apology to anyone his comment offended.

“Clearly I have made a mistake and apologized for it and will pay for it. I received it as a text message from an acquaintance and immaturely put it up on facebook in the light of the election. I’m not racist and apologize for offending you. I grew up on a ranch in a small town where that was a real thing and I need to grow up. I sincerely am sorry for being ignorant in thinking that it would be ok to write that publicly and apologize to you in particular. I have to be more mature than to put the reputation of my team at stake and to spread that kind of hate which I don’t even believe in. Once again, I sincerely apologize.”

When will people learn that social networks on the net can be the devil for some. If you are famous or in someway the public eye, we recommend not signing up for any of these networks. What more can they do then just cause you harm as Caitlin Davis and Buck Burnette are now learning.
