Social Media and Extra Curricular Activities

Do you think what people say on social media should be a reason to get kicked off of extra curricular activities, because I do. I feel this way because if people aren’t responsible enough to know what’s right and wrong to post, then they aren’t responsible enough to have the privilege to play sports or be in a club. What I mean by this is people need to learn to be responsible in all kinds of ways. I also think this because if people are being rude, mean, or inappropriate on social media, then, they probably also act that way at games, practices, or meetings for their extra curricular activities. What I mean by this is if someone is making fun of someone for something on social media, then they probably are mean to that person, or others during their extra curricular activities. My final reason why I feel this way, is what people post on social media everyone can see, and it could hurt others feelings and be offensive. In an article by Michael Gonchar, he quoted what Christine Rubino wrote and posted on Facebook after onĀ  a field trip where a sixth grader drowned in the ocean. This is what she said,”After today, I am thinking the beach sounds like a wonderful idea for my 5th graders? I HATE THEIR GUTS! They are all the devils spawn! If I were one of those fifth graders, or someone who knows them, I would take that very personal and offensive. She also probably didn’t know that everyone would see that, and it could be shown on the news. I DO NOT mean that if someone says something that someone might take “offensive” that they should be kicked off, it should be something that most people think is offensive to get kicked off. These are three reasons why I feel that if someone posts something bad on social media, that they should get kicked off of extra curricular activities.
