BDL’s Dan Devine on Nike shoe designer Jason Petrie’s ill advised tweets following Derrick Rose’s injury on Saturday afternoon.
With Twitter, people are allowed to say whatever is on their mind largely without any consequence. However, when you say something stupid and bring your employer into it, you’re entering a weird grey zone.
Petrie has the right to say something incredibly stupid stuff on Twitter; I know I do it all the time with LeBron James on our Twitter feed, but you can’t express excitement that a player is injured and blame it on an competitor’s product.
