Confusing Social Media With Real-Life

When the Cowboys visited AT&T West against the Chargers recently the players got into a scuffle on the field before the game. Is it just me or are we noticing more of this type of behavior not only from the league but also from the fans? Let’s examine a little further.

I have seen all the video clips that everyone is sharing as they spread like wildfire across social media. Especially the one from the Chargers-Cowboys game at Sofi Stadium. Drunk fans fighting is a damn shame!

Becuase bullshit travels faster than truth, remember Dak. I refuse to share that type of content on Built Different Group. I wanted to share my thoughts with you here on the fact I don’t like what I see, at all.

What else can you expect when you mix alcohol and emotions at a sporting event? Especially when you splash a dash of social media in this cocktail. Watch how things escalate quickly. For the worse. I don’t condone it nor do I like it. It’s degrading the game and fans are noticing this too.
