I believe athletes have less control about what other say or post about them on social media. I don't think athletes will stop using social media. Social media helps their brand, which assists in receiving more endorsements. One thing I love about social media because it's a platform for athletes to discuss things that was negatively said about them. For example, former NBA player Kenyon Martin, went on Twitter to address the comments his former coach George Karl wrote in his book, who criticized Martin and a few of his former teammates.
