I never have a problem with poking fun at Twitter, but a new athlete Tweeter emerged yesterday, and it was not to talk trash, it was not to come out on ESPN and it was not for national attention.
As most of you have heard, Stafon Johnson, star running back of the USC Trojans just had throat surgery on Monday after a 275 lb bar fell on it when working out. Luckily his muscular physique kept him from being choked to death.
Probably the only high-profile athlete in the world not to have a Twitter account, he used Pete Carroll's Twitter to send out a message thanking the people who have supported him.
He is recovering, and while recovering he created an account of his own.
First tweet:
"Thank you every1 4 all the love and support," Johnson said.
He is expected to fully recover after this horrifying event.
For sure this is the good side of Twitter. A heart-warming side of Twitter.
