Perhaps they should just ban Twitter use at the Olympics… First, Greek athlete Voula Papachristou was thrown out of the Games by her native country after posting an inappropriate message about African-Americans. Then, Michel Morganella was given the boot from the Swiss Soccer team after Tweeting that he wants to punch and burn opponents form South Korea. Now, British diver Tom Daley is at the center of a social media scandal, though this time the athlete is the victim. Some complete moron responded to Daley’s fourth-place finish in synchronized diving on Monday by saying the 18-year old let his father down by not earning a spot on the medal stand.
