Buck Burnette, one of the players on the offensive line football team Texas Longhorn wrote on his Facebook page this comment following the election of Barack Obama: " together all hunters, we have a fucking black White House." The next day his coach Mack Brown threw the team just before the biggest game of the season.
One of the cheerleaders of the New England Patriots was fired for posting on his Facebook page a photo of a crazy night out with friends. It showed naked from the waist up and a friend of his had written on his torso with a lipstick "I'm Jewish" with a swastika .
Dan Leone, the head of public relations for the Philadelphia Eagles was not renewed after publishing his Facebook wall a comment criticizing the team's game . Your boss is argued that a fan is incompatible with being a professional team of it.
coach football team from the University of Colorado imposed a new rule to his players last year: " If you ask to be your friend on Facebook, it is better for you to accept me. In terms of content, you should avoid anything that your mother she can not see without shame, because if you do she'll feel bad and you're out team. "
In the 2009 draft many NFL teams (professional football league in the USA) as the Lions or Packers created fake profiles on Facebook chichas like young and very pretty. Then they asked the stars of college football left them to be her friend. His testosterone betrayed them in most cases admitted at once into his circle of "private information." The scouts used all the information you could hear them: if they drank, if they used drugs, if they were too revelers, etc. to decide whether fingerprinted and to ponder bids, even millions, to make them.
Web 2.0 is transforming society and with it to organizations, and the sports world does not remain oblivious to this . Americans have begun because without doubt they are more advanced in integrating social media, but we must not forget that Spain is the third country in the world in the use and penetration of social networks.
Is correct this behavior or is invading privacy? Does it make sense to talk about privacy in a world where we shout from the rooftops what we do? Are organizations behave equal in the world 1.0? Will we see action soon how are you in the leagues of the favorite sports of our country?
Questions for which we will certainly have different answers, probably found, and with which we will gradually forming among all the new rules of social networks.
But there is one aspect that I like to emphasize, even more when the Wikileaks controversy in the spotlight. Today, anyone can speak and publish any information about anyone, positive, negative, true, false, objective or subjective. Therefore, now more than ever we need to develop a spirit critical to enable us to not believe everything we read and question the whys . need to be able to take perspective and comparing information to be fair and not get carried away by appearances or by the interests of others, something we also phenomenal in the world would come 1.0 with the media as biased and partial have.
In the Web 2.0 plays transparency, and in this new game all have to learn to play.
