How the Todd Carney urinal tweet went viral

How the Todd Carney urinal tweet went viral | NZ Warriors Rugby League | Scoop.it
The first-known tweet about NRL player Todd Carney’s lewd act came at 10.19pm on Saturday night.

Peter Mellow's insight:

Sad story and I feel for Todd. A lesson for all professional athletes here. You are always in the public eye. Don't do things that could risk your contract, or you may find yourself out of job. Social media is a great form of communication, but a dangerous way for images/stories to go viral and ruin lives. Be careful out there! :-)
