On Thursday, "Outside The Lines" discussed the impact of social media on the Olympic Games. The IOC has implemented Rule 40, which bans its athletes from using their likeness for advertising purposes while competing in the Olympics. Which means, for example, competitors can't thank Nike on Twitter for sponsoring their training sessions because the London Games are sponsored by adidas. Should Olympians be able to promote their sponsors/brands via social media without restraint?
