Quite literally the first thing we do as PR agents is to think of every possible "cancellable" word and do a Twitter search for 'TwitterName: Word' and delete anything you find. On our shared network at work we have a Word document with every slur you could imagine to make the job easier.surely one of the first jobs of any football agent nowadays is to scroll back through old tweets and delete the bad stuff?
On old accounts - like Bowen's - before the Internet was corporatised and sanatised, it's almost a guarantee that you're going to find some wild shit. People used Twitter like they were talking with their friends.
Reading old tweets from footballers and NBA players is hilarious...Unfortunately (well, fortunately for my continued employment) we're never getting that level of personal interaction back. Basically zero sportspeople handle their own social media now...from megastars to West Brom bench players.
Give me Rooney's "i'll put u asleep within 10 second u little girl. don't say stuff and not follow up. i'll be waiting" over "Big 3 points today. One for the fans. We go again. (Strong Arm emojii)", "Not the result we wanted today. Supporters deserve better. We go again. (Strong Arm emojii)" any day.
