Louisville Cardinals guard Kevin Ware sustained a gruesome leg injury in a game against Duke on March 31. Since then he has gained thousands of Twitter followers for his positive approach to life.
But on Monday he left the social network for what appears to be two main reasons – a team Twitter ban and some unwanted attention from TMZ. Ware tweeted: ‘This is my last tweet. All the support from fans was well appreciated but its a team rule. Losers like tmz is a prime example why I don’t.’
Ware attended the White House Correspondent’s Dinner with girlfriend Brittany Kelly, seen below, on Saturday. He was then intercepted in an airport by a TMZ photographer, who asked him what had been difficult since his injury, which left a bone protruding from his leg and his teammates sobbing on the court.
When Ware was asked if it has ‘slowed down the sex life’, the college star laughs and says no. The interview later appeared on TMZ’s site titled ‘My Leg Is Broken … But My Sex Life Is Just Fine!’ Another version of the same material also appears on the website with the caption ‘Is that a bone sticking out of your leg, or are you just happy to see me?’
But the cryptic wording of Ware’s tweet also suggests that the Cardinals have advised their players not to use Twitter. There has been no official statement from Louisville on its social media policy. But any possible ban could have something to do with the Twitter storm on April 8 when the Cardinals defeated the Michigan Wolverines, 82-76, to win the NCAA title.
