Question
Consider the gravity of each offense; then, explain the take-away/lesson to be learned from it.
One day you’re trending because you're heading to the Superbowl and the next day you’re the talk of Twitter for a completely different reason. The Seattle Seahawks had to live through this when the team’s Twitter account posted a picture of their teary-eyed quarterback Russell Wilson superimposed with an MLK quote, “Faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. - Martin Luther King, Jr.” the morning after beating the Packers for a Super Bowl spot. The post also included the #MLK hashtag because it would be a bummer for the relevant tweet to not show up when users search for MLK conversation. The team took down the tweet but not before users let them know that comparing the civil rights struggle to their NFC championship comeback win over the Green Bay Packers wasn’t the greatest of ideas.
Explanation / Answer
Using social media as a tool for promotion or for showing interest is definitely good for different organisations but it should not be used for showcasing the personal preferences or personal thinking as it could affect the mass. In this situation that we eat is directly pointing regards civil rights struggle for the NFC Championship which should not be done on a public platform by the organisation as it could hurt feelings of many individuals imposing direct discrimination on a social media platform which is not adequate act for an international team like Seattle Seahawks.
