The only thing they could do to automate it is filter out different phrases and words, but this could still produce tweets that have nothing to do with the trade deadline. I would probably bank on it being filtered by a social media attendant.

The tweeter still needs to issue an apology, and both he and TSN need to pay up for damages.

People tweet stupid crap like that all the time, like literally every second. Its TSN's fault for airing the tweet.

The media in this city is such a joke!! including TSN. What a bunch of clowns. I really hope no players talk to the media the rest of the year.
Media are bunch of scum buckets!
I hate TSN and Sportsnet.

It's people's faults for tweeting stupid crap.
Don't slander, don't make libellous comments. Pretty simple.
I think it's good in the sense that the lawsuit is also being levied against the tweeter which hopefully sets some precedent for future idiots who make **** up or repeat libel as fact can also be taken to task.

Let us not get carried away here.
Media is doing a pathetic job, and players aren't doing what they are supposed to do either.

Not necessarily. It could have been as simple as a bot that picked out random tweets that have the proper hashtag, as dumb as it would be.
I think one point some people are missing is that the tweeter intentionally included the #TradeCentre hashtag with the possibility of submitting it to get it on air. It wasn't just some random tweet to his friends.

I agree.
There are trolls everywhere you can't stop the internet.
The reason this is an issue is because TSN put it on live tv. That's just stupid. They should take a hit for doing it.

That is more like it.
Should I say they are heartless players, or does that mean libel too?

What does the media have to do with any of this?
A tweet that shouldn't have appeared ended up on the air.
The media was not involved in the least.

Of course you do. I don't disagree with your premise, but putting the blame on the tweeter for this exact situation is wrong. Twitter is a mass of idiots who have free reign to tweet whatever they want, but it is absolutely the broadcasting company's fault for what airs on their programming.
Never going to be able to silence idiots on the internet, but the blame lies completely with TSN for allowing that to air.
You don't think they'll think twice after this? This guy, just like everyone else, has to realize he is responsible for what he puts out there. If you don't make crap up, you won't get sued. If you do, prepare to be made infamous.
I've read his twitter feed and don't understand how people like that don't get that the internet lasts forever. Any potential employer will google him and realize what a ******* he is.

wow they must be really pissed. considering the rumour, I get it, but since its just a tweeter dumbass is suing really necessary? tsn apologized, but why get so worked up about something that everyone knows is not true

Here's the long and short about the tweet itself, in my opinion:
If you post something on the internet, especially about someone else, that you wouldn't actually want to say to that person face to face, or in a public setting with actual people around; it shouldn't be posted on the internet.
Not that many people will ever take it to heart, but it's the kind of thing that's gotten people into trouble like this, and will continue to.
Just a matter of ethics, respect, and general decency.

I don't think they care about that, because what this does is send a message that it is not true.
