And Another Social Media Fail

When gunshots starting flying through the library at Florida State University, a University of Alabama student who serves as a campus reporter for ESPNU took to Twitter.

ESPN Reporter Marisa Martin, a sports broadcasting student at the university, tweeted a joke about FSU troubled and talented Quarterback Jameis Winston.

After Martin was quickly criticized by hundreds of people for her initial tweet, she soon offered a non-apology:

"Since apparently I cant make a joke in all seriousness I hope everyone at FSU is safe & that the gunman is found. But I stand by my opinions"

Not long after that she deleted her Twitter account completely and then went to the old stand by claiming she was hacked. She tweeted out the hacking claims on her school's account:

It's another example of someone not thinking before they tweet and this might likely have killed her Journalism career before it really even got started.
