Tony Allen Live Tweets Son Throwing Up On Him

Memphis Grizzlies guard Tony Allen has a reputation for sharing things on Twitter. He shared something Sunday that maybe some wish he hadn’t.

Two words: Over. Share.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Tony Allen, always a very open soul on social media, live tweeted his son vomiting on him on Sunday.

Complete with a photo.

Gee, thanks.

You do have to either admire—or be completely aghast at—his commitment to his social media following. My first move after this happens would be a towel, not a camera.

Then again, I’m a person who despite having a smartphone for years, has never taken a selfie.

Not once.

I have a theory about that. We are in the greatest age of narcissism human society has ever known. Between camera phones and social media, we learn more things about more people than we ever have—or wanted to—before.

The flip side to this is for people in the public eye like Allen, a professional athlete, there has never been a time when fans have more unfettered access to the personalities they like … or dislike, for that matter.

Think about it: When Tony Allen tweeted that delightful photo, it was instantly shared with 120,000 followers.

And if being able to share being vomited upon with 120,000 people isn’t one of the unexpected benefits of social media, I mean, what is?
