The social media, as we all know what
it is and how we have become it’s slaves. We post our photos or write opinions
and comments about various things happening around us. We all use social media
and it is not a wrong thing it is made for entertainment of people but sometimes
we don’t think what we are doing and post wrong things and post socially wrong comments.
We do not think that these posts can harm us in the future and nobody knows the
future.
Ollie Robinson, an England cricket player who
made his test debut for England in 2021 against New Zealand. He posted a racist
and sexist tweet in 2012 – 2013 and he didn’t know that the posts which he created
could harm him and his cricket career and future prospects. After he made his debut,
with the fame of international cricket his posts started to trend and the whole
world knew more about him. After knowing about his legacy tweets, the England
Cricket Board (ECB) started investigating about it. He did apologize for his
mistake and the thoughts he posted on twitter. After the first test of England
and New Zealand the ECB came up with decision of suspending Ollie Robinson.
In the first test he performed
very well but now he is suspended from international cricket. After that
England Cricket Board checked the Social Media History of all players and they found
that Jos Buttler, Eoin Morgan, James Anderson also commented on wrong things.
James Anderson too apologized for his previous unacceptable tweets. ECB is still investigating on Jos Buttler and
Eoin Morgan’s case.
So, the moral of the story is
that we should not post wrong or socially unacceptable comments hurting or against
any person, caste, creed or religion. In this socially active world, we should
think twice and post as it can harm our future also.
