also think it’s important to use my platform to inform my followers and fans on social issues and to share my beliefs. I mostly use Twitter for things like this. I know a lot of people don’t love some of my social activism and I’ve lost some fans because of it. But to be honest, I could care less. I think it’s important for athletes to use their voice, especially on the behalf of those who feel silenced.
Humm. In my professional career its inapproperate to express my political, religous, or other openions I may have that has nothing to do with the need or are a concern of my clients. I find it interesting that so many athletes, entertainers, who need fans/followers couldn't care less about their consumers. Perhaps this is why I don't watch the WNBA.
