Why aren't coaches telling the Olympic athletes

[newenglandwifey]

to STAY OFF TWITTER?

Another one just got ousted for spouting ignorant/racist comments!

It's bad enough that people actually think the way some of these idiots do but to tweet these thoughts DURING the games?

Sweet Jesus!

Coaches aren't babysitters.

There's no blood test for tweeting.

Or stupid.

True, but there are TONS of college coaches and even pro sports teams that have banned their players from having twitter accounts for this reason.

Coaches are held responsible for the behavior of their team - that is why head coaches get fired when their athletes get caught in scandals.

I was just thinking that this sounds so American. I'm not happy that there are other countries whose citizens spout this bullshit, but I guess I'm kind of relieved we're not the only ones. Or just that it wasn't us this time.
