September 9, 2011 by Amy Jussel 8 Comments

Sept. 9, 2011 “Text, poke, like, or chat...” What about TALK?

Update: April 2, 2013 Given Mike Rice's conduct berating players at practice captured on cam and sent all over the social media airwaves w/Rutgers news today, I have to reprise this post to remind that this DOES happen at the high school and club level on teams as well, as I can attest to firsthand.

Ommmm… I’m trying REALLY hard to abstain from a kneejerk reaction to the ‘dare to share’ assault and twice-raped (by media) teen in Canada who had photos of her horrific ordeal plastered onto Facebook by morally bankrupt bystanders. You could say it was "Over the Line" as MTV's anti-bullying digital literacy youth site "A … [Read more...]
