    Something called the Tennis Integrity Unit¹ has posted signs at the National Tennis Center warning that tweets could violate the sport's anti-corruption rules.

    The Tennis Integrity Unit² says depending on content, tweets could be interpreted as passing inside information.

    ¹We must emphasize that we are not making this up.
    ²I only spelled it out twice because the name makes me laugh. Apparently the Secret Policemen's Other Ball was actually a tennis ball.
