You Won’t Push Your Dad Down The Stairs…

After creating the “Social Networking” category on this website, I was wondering if I would ever have a 2nd post on the subject after this general post about Clients on Social Networking Sites.  Jeremy Barfield has finally given me a second post on the subject…although the story is terrible.  After pushing his dad (ex Toronto Blue Jay, Jesse Barfield) down the stairs of his house, Jeremy Barfield decided to discuss the whole situation on MySpace [Younger Barfield Tells His Story (On Myspace, Of Course)].

Maybe young Barfield should think twice about blasting the media and putting down the police while he is being charged with assault.  And maybe athletes should start using social networking sites to create good press instead of making their bad situations worse.

Heitner has represented numerous athletes and sports agents as legal counsel.
