Stan Collymore returns to Twitter and hits out at the Sun

Stan Collymore has criticised and wrote comments about the one of the leading top newspapers, The Sun, as the ex-football star has returned to social networking site, Twitter. This was after his spending account which twitter stopped him, using over racist abuse that he received on this site. The former England striker, has over 500, 000 Twitter followers, traded word about The Sun, as he spoke out about his ex-girlfriend Ulrika Jonsson, as she accused him being ‘hypocrisy’, she said that the affair was a distraction from the issuer of online abuse.  The ex-football player had his account suspended earlier last year, as he had a police investigation, which found "horrific" racist abuse, including death threats.

"The Sun newspaper thought that dragging up a 15-year-old story this morning, which bears no relevance to being abused or threats, that that means there's essentially a justification … that because it's Stan Collymore it's OK … there is a real issue here that Twitter needs to tackle."

He added: "There are people who are using a 15-year-old story to say 'Well you did this 15 years ago, so therefore now in 2014, not 1998, you don't deserve to be speaking out about someone writing in a box "I am going to turn up to your house and murder you".'" Also, He replied: "I've never been convicted of anything other than speeding, so maybe you'd like to retract that."

I think that Stan Collymore is pretty lucky of still having his Twitter account, as he has a past of being rude and using racist comment on a popular social networking site, as million of people will see these comment and will report him. As he is a popular person and well known to million of people due to his football career, many people look up to him and are inspired by him on/ off the pitch. As he is a role model to others. When the audience hear this story about the comment he said then they'll judge him, also to the Sun readers, they'll judge him as well, as they are very left wing toward the Sun newspaper
