Did teedubya use his "Midwest Values" while tweeting obscenities at the Chiefs?

IF they understand Twitter or not it doesn't really matter if you read the comments people blindly follow.

Kansas City itself has a problem with critical thinking. These are the same people who thought it was a good idea to polish a turd in the middle of nowhere with tax payer money and spend millions on a shitty science exhibit.

The whole leadership of Kansas City has been a failure if people can't critically think about that stuff I wouldn't expect them to question their beloved sports teams.

Where is Teller?

lol, nice Royals attire. Subtle dig.

Which one of you assholes stole a deer in Olathe?

Check that. Which group of you drunken assholes stole a deer in Olathe? That's not something that someone does alone and sober.

old man twitter

LMAO yep

Nice. :thumb:

The News spot says it was a Private message from the Chiefs to Teedubya. Why would he say their response was to the fans and not him?

This is certainly a pivotal moment in Chiefs history. Tomorrow morning Pioli will be out in the driveway meekly waxing teedubya's car like Biff Tannen waxing George McFly's car.

He's saying that their apology was for the broader fan audience, because he'd already been bumped by them. He obviously couldn't see it.

If only we could go back and change one trivial thing in the past.

dang have to go back and get the sports almanac.

go back? why didn't you take it with you dumbass. :evil:

That is class dawg.

I think it may be that I do not understand how Twitter works... my bad..

LMAO

Uhh Now Scott, that's TWO coats of wax right?

Just finishing the second coat now Mr. Ari

Scott...

I mean just starting, just starting

"I have for you and your wonderful family, a season pass to the club section, my friend. You've seen those seats -- they're nice .... !! ..."

LMAO

Wow. That is just...insane.

This shit is absolutely hilarious!!!!!!!

The prosecution rests, your honor. It's like getting people to understand al jazeera (america or aj Japan) network. "It's mooslim"!! No, it's very well respected as a news outlet. But you know the reaction you get just from the name.

LMAO at chiefzilla. I look at those posts and just go "wall of text"... Next post".

I signed up in 2007. If I'm not mistaken, I think Ari started a thread about Twitter around that same time. Like you Dane, I follow major news outlets, favorite writers in sports, and some folks who interest me around the world.

It's actually how I found out about the tsunami in Japan as my feed went freaking nuts at 0200 that morning. I woke up trying to find it on the news but it wasn't announced for another twenty minutes. Incredible medium for sure.

I was a huge twitter user 4 or so years ago. My wife and I were both really big into it. Then it got very consuming, and it became difficult for me because many of my students began using twitter. It had become my outlet for my edgier personality, so I had to start self-monitoring. Then it was no longer that fun.

Anyway, it was all good back in the day, but I feel like it's going the same route of facebook and becoming passe and past the curve. Reddit/pinterest/instagram all seem to be a little more "cutting edge" at the moment, though I'm not really that interested in them either. In all honesty, I'm a little sick of social media, though I maintain an observational interest and keep up with the trends. I guess I'm getting old and out of touch or something.

I use Twitter to follow current events and people that are fun (Steve Martin and Albert Brooks immediately come to mind). I have followers, yet Tweet rarely. It's kind of odd for me to tweet daily minutiae.

Plus, the pressure to say something witty or important is a little daunting, especially considering some of my followers.

I'm not big on posting snippets. Always been a passive user. really. And anymore, ChiefsandO'sfan posts all the national sports before i get a chance to read the feed.

I had like 700 followers (not really many in teedubya terms, but my students are always impressed when I tell them I had that many). I used it to engage in local community building as well as discuss teaching politics and culture. As such, I was doing a lot of dialog and retweeting. But yeah, I should probably just create another account and use it passively. I definitely appreciate the medium, but I just haven't gotten back into it (probably because I feel like all the punkass kids got on it and ruined it for me).

Those damn kids. Pretty soon you'll be telling them to "get off my lawn".

Get off my internetz!! You're making it suck!

I have several people in the entertainment industry, including a few big companies that follow. With that being the case, I'm hesitant to post anything of real value or something worthwhile, other than the occasional status update.

I don't want one of these companies to call for project or whatever, then read something objectionable on my Twitter account.

So, I just talk shit here. :D

That never stops you on here. Why start now?

:)

Heh. He gets that quite a bit... as you can probably imagine.

It's amazing how much attention this got, was bad response by chiefs though, but I live in near Tampa and I get home from work and I see it on a local site. the power of the Planet.

Fitting this is followed up by the deer story.

I'm not suggesting the Planet hasn't flexed a little muscle in the past but I think you're mis-reading the Planet's involvement in this instance. Aside from a few Planeteers contributing to the viral nature of this episode and the fact Teedubya happens to have an account here, most of this took place on social media sites such as Twitter, Reddit, and facebook.

That is great! Unprecedented.

In the Twitter age, sports teams can no longer claim to be the voice of the fan.

Social media gives fans an opportunity to hold teams accountable for their failures. Fan power is absolutely changing the sport itself.

LMAO

Good lord, how did teedubya get so many twitter followers...surely not all from this little spif. 123k and counting

Early adopter and active tweeter. He's talked about it plenty on this site.

Maybe Looney just got tired of hearing about HAARP rings?

It's kind of his job, albiet not to get people to follow him personally

ROFL @ Midwestern values.

Because he's a douchebag.

He was an early adopter plus roughly 25% of them aren't real accounts, hth.

LOL, he's down at WDAF Fox 4 right this second giving another interview. He may come on here later on today and take some abuse from the haters.

I was so active online with this last night because it pissed me off. When you've lost more games than any other team in the AFC since 2007 you shouldn't talk that way to someone because they call you cheap. So, I posted it like wildfire everywhere. He didn't need me though, dude has 20k more twitter followers than an NFL team for Christ's sake.

:LOL:

Edit: Also, jesus christ. This is just some dumbass intern who got pissed and let loose on a "fan"

Yeah. See, that's part of what pissed me off so much. They give some kid access to the official twitter account, without some pretty specific instruction on how to handle himself. Total bullshit.

Perhaps they had guidelines, but he didn't follow them?

It happens. It's unfortunate for him that he had to pick the dweeb he picked to DM.

Could be. Good lesson for the club though. Social media is becoming more and more powerful everyday. I take it you and Teedub don't have drinks together?

This club has a learning disability.

I have to laugh my ass off at the idea at the chiefs using twitter correctly. Can't even get cell service at the games.

You are a Twitter Feed of Sadness!

Holy shit.

I was like WHOAAAAAAAAAAAA

is that Teedubya to the right?

You should have said something about your free Chiefs experiences.

Do we have a new GM yet?

OMG Clay... That's hilarious.

Companies have a responsibility to teach their employees how to properly use social media - improper use can lead to PR problem like this one. Or worse.

I work for a Fortune 10 company. We have to take mandatory training on how to use, and not use, social media while representing the company.

This really isn't about the message itself.

I'm sorry but if Travis teaches social media ethics to other brands what exactly did his tweet embody? The very same thing he's complaining about on what brands shouldn't do with responses like he made. I was like whooaaa.

Look! Look! Come see the arrogance inherent in The System!

:LOL:

Why would you send a tweet like that to the organization's Twitter account anyway?

It's not like Scott Pioli's behind it.

LMAO

"And the mother ship came down and sucked me up. The next thing I remember, I woke up on a table looking at a creature holding a two foot probe. I was like Woooooooooooooooooo!"

He didn't mean for it to become a shit storm.

Because that's the WHOLE REASON for the team to have a Twitter account?

JFC

YEEEEEEEAHHHHHHH

BOYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

This is pretty cool.

Watch the gif while the music plays. So good.

Following the Royals social media accounts is a blast.

And then I saw those ring things on the radar and saw where the tornadoes were popping up and I was....
