People can say whatever they want on Twitter. But it could easily backfire if said in the wrong context.
And, in some cases, it could cost you your job.
A tweet that hinted at violence cost the Houston Rockets' digital communication manager his job.
Chad Shanks, the digital communications manager of the Houston Rockets, got a little too excited as his team was about to close out a playoff series against state-rival Dallas Mavericks.
With the Rockets' official Twitter account, he tweeted, "Shhhhh. Just close your eyes. It will all be over soon."
Moments later, the Mavericks' Twitter account responded, "@HoustonRockets Not very classy but we still wish you guys the best of luck in the next round."
But that wasn't it. The Rockets soon apologized, saying the tweet was in "very poor taste." Shanks was soon fired from his position.
