They fill their time with Facebook-surfing for cat videos, conspiracy theories, stupid memes and lame jokes, hokey sayings of encouragement, pictures of their new kitchens, etc. THE WORST.) I abhor cat videos but I will show you my kitchen remodel 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appoo Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Not trying to get into social engineering here, but in the most general of terms, women have a very different approach to regulating social media among kids than dads do, and a lot of that is because girls are taught from a very young age, how to communicate real thoughts and emotions with other kids and people. Boys learn to pretend emotions don't exist and only communicate that they're tough. Again, that's a VERY generalized viewpoint, on a prevalent issues that's ripping through society today, and has a BUNCH of nuanced factors. Reason I'm bringing this up, is that most of the powers the be in the NFL are men, and again as a general rule of thumb, generations prior to millennials, men weren't taught how to deal with emotions. That's central to the issues we're having with Social media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facebook and Twitter did to Boomers what they said violent video games and rap lyrics would do to us. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 That's for sure, social media is already the fourth estate. It seems to me that in any field and topic, social media can set the pace and trajectory of events. They are also the best at shaping discourse.

There are plenty of people who don't need to be handed this sort of megaphone who are very good at abusing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
