Sorry, as someone who works with young people, yes you should understand their age and whatnot but that absolutely doesn't mean you should carry on and forget about it. Bad behavior is unacceptable and this needs to be instilled at that age before it becomes a problem when they are older. There is a difference in vanity, and pouting and all that and actually unprofessional and unacceptable behavior. Obviously, any reaction needs to be proportional and compassionate but certainly things like openly confronting coaches and all that kind of 'bad attitude' needs to be dealt with and thats not just ignoring it and getting on with it.
Similarly posts like Griffiths on twitter are not actually a massive deal but the club has to deal with it and make it clear that this kind of behavior is not acceptable. Not because its a problem for the club itself but because it will hurt him and possibly his career in the long term. To ignore such acts is a failure of a clubs duty to develop young players into model professionals.
Thankfully Griffiths has seemingly deleted the post and everyone can move on. Also his twitter persona, as a whole, doesn't appear particularly bad to me.
