OT: Should you be allowed to delete a tweet- Zach Johnson's beef with Harbs

Submitted by iawolve on

Zach Johnson, PGA Pro, Iowa City native and Hawkeye fan, took to twitter to complain (whine) about Harbaugh's recruitment of Alaric Jackson. 

“I’m fed up with Khakis,Just adding uncertainly and doubt to a teenager who already made his decision. Ridiculous.”

This tweet has since been deleted, but obviously lives in some form since it is being reported by the DetNews. I am glad Harbaugh is looking to a local kid to fill a need, that makes me happy since he gave this kid options. If he flips him from Iowa, that is the way it goes. If you want to complain about getting a recruit yoinked, do it and be a man about your issue. If it is important enough to share with the internet, leave it up and don't be a whiny bitch by taking it down.

I get protecting some kid or removing some personal/damaging picture/speech, but that is different from a 39 year old man not being able to stand behind his fit of pique over a football recruit. I think it makes him look worse.

I love how everyone is hating on Iowa when the reason we had the season we did was because they gave us their backup QB because they had no use for him. 

 

I mean, say what you want but they've been better than us for a while...the whole we're superior to them thing rings a little hollow to me.  They're 6-4 against us in the last 10 times we've played them.

Back when Bret Bielema threw his "We don't want to be like the SEC" tantrum (LOLZ) over Urban Meyer's recruiting tactics, Brady Hoke weighed in and said that a recruit is fair game until he's signed. That would seem to apply here.

Although I am not a twitterer, and don't care for the medium, I believe that anyone should have the right to do anything he or she wants to regarding his or her tweets.  Leave them up, delete them, who cares?
