Get real

Sunday, the Redskins joined a growing list of team who really have no idea how to use the internet.

The team banned the use of "electronic updates" from practice. This means no twitter, facebooking, etc., unless you're an "approved" source. The approved sources? The twitter feeds of Redskins team blogger Matt Terl, Redskins.com and the official radio station of the Redskins.

What's the point? So you, the Redskins, can control the flow of information? Get real. Wake up and join the 21st century.

Teams shouldn't be banning social media, they should be opening up and embracing it.

My twitter feed, by the way, is @seandkennedy.

UPDATE: Oh, by the way, the Southeastern Conference looks like it's trying to do the same thing. It's ludicrous.
