Why Fighting with your Grandkids NEVER works

Dear Owners of the NFL,

You are DUMB, you are SO DUMB. You basically just walked into a wall and full speed and DON'T even realize it. But allowing your players to STAY in the Locker Room if they wish to Protest during the anthem, you have basically given them Free Reign to use social media against you. I am protesting, I can record a QUICK 2 to 3 minute video(a portion of the time set up for and performance of the anthem usually takes), add a few quick pre-thought out hashtags too, and set it for delayed posting, and then run out onto the field while the coin toss is going on. Cause lets be real, you ain gone LET me be a Game Captain so that I can run out for the coin toss now are you. It sounded good right, but this AIN the 50's, 60's, 80's, 9-'s or EARLY 00's. It's 2018, every one has 2 HI DEF cameras on their smart phones(especially Athletes you are playing 100 of thousands PLUS to), they have Social media accounts, THOUSANDS OF FOLLOWERS, and people who are ONE highlight reel play away from SEARCHING for their name AND social media accounts.

Yup that's right, you just gave them EVEN more exposure. I still follow some FORMER EAGLES on Social Media(Shady, Djax, and Jmac), as well as our CURRENT QB(injured), and will probably Follow Nelly since I talked so bad about him in 2016. I Googled them, found their names and have been following them SINCE THEY WERE ON THE TEAM. If they are a favorite player BOOM you know it is going to be retweeted. And most people have their social media accounts linked(EVEN if I PERSONALLY find it annoying as hell. Not everything is for every account, but I'm weird like that), so if you drop a video on twitter, it is probably hitting the gram, FB, Tumblr, YOUTUBE, and what ever the new hot social media site is(I'm in my 40's I ain even TRYING to keep up no more). You took away the TV cameras, WHOOP DEE TV is chasing social media. I have my phone in my hand way more than I am watching my TV. Portability is king, and if they DELAY the release of it until say 15 or 20 minutes later REAL TIME so that they are already on the field and HAVE POSSIBLY made a big play, then what? SPLASH, SPLASH, SPLASH yup every one who wants to know more about them, see where they came from is gonna see that video. By the time the SECOND interview of their AWESOME play comes about interviewers will be asking you about their protest video.
