It seems players don't care much about their teams.....What a surprise.
And I know about the constitutional question....So save it.

BUT.
Maybe teams should have team rules on social media usage. The NFL supposedly has rules on the use of media before and after a game.

Antonio Brown caused a slight problem with the Steelers, Mike Tomlin, and Terry Bradshaw.

probably can't ban them from using it, but you should be able to fine them for ones that the organizations perceive hurt the team.

The problem the league has here is that they try to humanize their players and so does their biggest supportive media. So they think the connections on social media brings in more fans and ultimately more advertising eyes.

I don't much care about players on line, but somebody please take away Trump's phone.
