Chris Bosh Continues To Break Up With The Raptors On Twitter

There have been way too many stories where Twitter is involved to moralize about the changing nature of news coverage in the Internet age. So I won’t do that here.

↵All I’ll say is this: if Chris Bosh was hoping to keep his intentions this summer a secret, he’s doing an awfully bad job. A week ago, he asked his followers where he should play next season, which of course drew the ire of Raptors fans. Two days ago, he randomly showed up at Staples Center to watch the Lakers play, because heavens forbid he travel to LA. And then, he did this.

↵↵The Raptors’ all-star forward - at least, that’s his designation until July 1, when the NBA declares open season on players out of contract - changed his location from Toronto to “Everywhere” on his Twitter account, and removed a biography section that noted his status as Raptors captain. Meantime, his website was listed as down for maintenance on Tuesday morning.

↵↵Bosh’s response to all of this? “Thinking about getting an ipad. Anyone out there have one? What do you think about it?” HOW DARE HE ASK QUESTIONS!

↵In all seriousness, even though I made fun of everyone’s outrage about Bosh’s actions last night, this is really bad form on Bosh’s part. It’s 2010, dude. People are not going to ignore you when you use Twitter like this. Either you’re clueless about how much these actions matter to people, or you know exactly what you’re doing. If it’s the latter, it’s pretty disingenuous, to say the least.
