Clemson football coach asks players to get off Twitter

Clemson's head football coach is asking players to get off Twitter during the season.

The Orange and White is reporting that Dabo Swinney made the request right as fall camp started.

The online sports magazine reports Swinney saying: "It's the world we live in, and there's a lot of good in it.? The technology is fascinating, and all that's happened in past 10-15 years. But it's also very dangerous."

"If they say just one little thing just a little wrong -- and these are young people -- and in the world we live in, it's a firestorm and a I'm having to deal with it.? I don't like distractions. I hate distractions."

The website reports Swinney also said his athletes are already overloaded with responsibilities and this is just "one more thing" taking up their time.

News 4 Sports Director Brad Fralick said Swinney addressed this issue at a media golf outing a few weeks ago.

Fralick said Swinney mentioned this was originally a player initiated ban, then the coaches kept it going.? The team invoked the same ban a year ago, according to Fralick.
