DC Tom Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 It would be far more effective to start a social media campaign to boycott the Superbowl. Hit them where it really hurts - TV ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 i agree, the league could be headed to a WWF perception.. between the latest deflategate and the blatant blown call in the dallas detroit game, people will start wondering... Agree Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh I would easily bet more then 90% of those people would still watch the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But start a Facebook campaign with legs, and the league office would still **** their collective pants over that alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point he was trying to make is that twitter is irrelevant. Or at least highly capricious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) I think the point he was trying to make is that twitter is irrelevant. Or at least highly capricious. Then he doesn't understand the modern day media or the importance large corporations place on social media trends. Anyone that thinks large corporations don't pay close attention to Facebook or Twitter don't understand how public relations works in the 21st century. Both sites are more important to the NFL than anything that's written in a magazine or newspaper.

Social media trends and twitter "trending" topics are two very different things. Large corporations aren't too concerned with "Beyonce's booty" or "New Jersey real housewife's prison cell makeover" or whatever the inane topic of the day is.

TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) But they're certainly concerned when a scandal involving them is a trending topic. It's every company's and every politician's nightmare. Companies have literally been put out of business by unfavorable videos of their employees treating a pizza delivery guy badly going viral.The duration of the popularity of this topic and the scale at which it trends will likely help determine how hard the league comes down on the Patriots. They'll basically do the least possible they can that they feel will cause the uproar of the scandal to subside.

If they're preternaturally incompetent handling of Ray Rice didn't, a dozen underinflated footballs certainly won't. You know who's really loving this "deflate-gate" controversy?
