Social media has become their preferred method to interact with their fans by sharing their views (and photos) on whatever they feel like. Yet this exposes their personalities, for better or worse, in a manner unaccustomed to fans, who only see the refined “performer” on television.
You wouldn’t hear Stephanie Rice’s anti-gay slur in a press conference, that’s for certain.
So fans can see into athletes’ lives through the small window called social media; how they interact with people, the amount of time they have free away from their work and how they fill it, and their interests (through who the athlete follow and what they tweet about). Sometimes that window shows a very superficial and one-dimensional picture.
Blame it on Generation Y and their reliance on social media for human interaction, but so much of my generations’ lives are dependant on communication through a keyboard, sadly, and athletes are no different. This leads to stunted emotional growth, with selfish and attention seeking traits fostering in lives devoid of real human contact and superficial relationships.
The exposed Dal Santo openly spoke about how footballers and his generation use Facebook as a dating tool on Channel 9’s “The Footy Show” earlier this year, much to the bemusement of the “old school” Sam Newman. Some athletes even tweet from home on their iPhones and Blackberrys with the location settings on, so followers (and potential squeezes) can see where they are based.
If athletes choose to court such attention that is their business, but they must surely realise they are opening themselves up to public humiliation.
Sports stars’ behaviour will once again come into focus as this latest scandal plays out, with more photos involving more players set to hit the Internet, according to the publisher of the photos that did the rounds yesterday.
But the key point here is that leagues and clubs cannot act as full-time guardians for the thousands of professional athletes with so much free time, disposable income, and the overwhelming temptation to take advantage of their lot in life. And this combination is the reason why they appear to lead lives of superficiality and excess. Who wouldn’t in those circumstances?
What they do in the privacy of their own lives is their own choice.
As long as they are not breaking any laws then they are well within their rights to live as they wish (although you would hope they live to some form of moral code). But unless they do so with some discretion, they will continue to be exposed in such a manner – with only themselves to blame for failing to grasp this concept and living through their digital/computerised obsession.
Time to grow up and leave the lewd acts for behind closed doors, with cameras, Twitter and Facebook turned off.

Couldn’t agree more.
My first reaction was the photos must be fake, ‘photoshoped’ or something but then St Kilda came out with a press release claiming the photos were stolen which of course confirmed they are legit.
So the question has to be asked, why would these players allow a photo like that to be taken?
The girl involved needs helps, she has admitted its all about revenge and humiliation for her, mission accomplished it seems. However, she needs help, appears to be a groupie type. Apparently a policeman has been stood down for alledgedly sleeping with her after he investigated two other Saints players earlier this year. Sorting fact from fiction is not easy. Her twitter account is not very flattering though and does not protray her in a good light.
However, without the ammunition she can do nothing.
Yes facebook and twitter can be a threat to your privacy but if your a high profile sportsman don’t let anyone take ‘lewd’ photos of you.
Twitter is a fantastic medium for immediate news and views don’t blame it, facebook you can keep.

You ever been really really really drunk Redb?

The photos were apparently taken only 14 months ago. These are senior players who should know better than to get that really really drunk in the first place.

@HK47 – Sure. I like many others have behaved loosely after many too many. But that’s not the issue here – the issue is that these guys are well paid public figures and, like it or not, they have to understand that they need to play by different rules than those the anonymous public have to play by.
Part of taking the big cheque and the adulation that goes along with it is forfeiting certain rights, privacy and protection from this kind of scandal being no.1. It mightn’t be fair, but it is fact. The media will feast on an instance like this each and every time it arises – these players need to understand that.
Again – it mightn’t be fair – but it is fact.
I work in football. What I see daily is a growing understanding of the repurcussions of such loose behaviour. Believe it or not, footballers are getting it. But none of them are immune. One mistake and ‘there but for the grace of God’ goes one of my players. They need to know that in this age of mobile phone cameras and social media, they can’t afford to put themselves in those situations. And if they do, they need to have the presence of mind to seize the camera and delete the photos ASAP.
But it’s not social media’s fault. Hell, it’s not the media’s fault either. They’re just out to sell papers and this stuff does by the hat full. It’s the fault of the individual with his member out. Pure and simple. Without that, there is no scandal. There are no photos for a girl with a grudge to circulate on Facebook.
Unfortunately for Riewoldt, Dawson and Dal Santo, and Monaghan before them, they were caught out. If the claim that these photos were ‘stolen from a team mates laptop’ and may have been ‘taken 14 months ago’ – as St. Kilda CEO Michael Nettlefold said, then how did this girl get access to them? And why for God’s sake were they not deleted a year ago, a month ago, a week ago?
If they want privacy and protection, then either don’t take the cheque, or more simply, don’t give people ammunition in the first place. Just don’t put yourself in such a situation, and if you do, make sure you delete the photos. It can’t be that hard.
But, If they want their right to be photographed nude in the presence of team mates protected, understand that the minute you make the big leagues that right goes away.. forever.

yes i have been very very drunk. Did I get my willy out though? Umm, no, cant say i have. But true, i do notice that some boys just like to do it. Am I missing out on something?
if we didnt have footy players we would have to invent them. What else would we do for laughs?

How drunk do you have to be to do something like that if it isn’t already in your character? These people cannot blame alcohol on this. They are just boofheads with no sense off decency. Agree totally with the article.

Great to see the AFL attack dog out getting the smear campaign out on the girl in question.
Straight out of the playbook.
