Social media can be a tough nut to crack. It can be ridiculously frustrating (see Antonio Brown’s Facebook Live fiasco of 2016), but it can also be a tremendous tool to help bring people together. Some of those people are professional athletes and the fans who follow them on a weekly basis.
Of all the professional athletes who don’t “get it”, with regard to social media, Steelers linebacker Vince Williams is one of the few who gets it. On Wednesday, Williams took the time to answer fans’ questions about his teammates, and his answers were worth sharing.
Take a look at the pseudo transcript below:
Y'all ask me about any of my teammates and I'm going to tell you guys what I think about them. Shoot!
