I don't want this to be taken the wrong way and before I start I want to make it 100% clear I have nothing against men dressing as women etc etc
However, I was shocked to see a post tonight on the Patriots tiktok of one of the players in a dress messing around. Where has the professionalism gone?
Everyone has a laugh but you do not expect to see something like that coming from a "professional" basketball teams social media. Who on earth signed that off?
I think there needs to be a re-look at the social media strategy. Do they want to be taken seriously as a team or as a bunch of people having a joke. Especially this early on in their existence, they should be proving themselves as a key team that deserves a place in the league.

This is just it. A so called professional basketball team posting total irrelevant junk on your social channels “fun or not” just shows that the club have no clue. The so called Head of Media who has also liked the post must approve. Says it all.

Could always go with the previous guy, I mean if the self entitled narcissistic post that he put up recently hasn't totalled engulfed that particular bridge. Who knows? I think they're having fun, which is exactly what's needed right now, they won't please everybody, boo hoo. First thing they need to do is become sustainable, unless you're yearning for prior "professionalism" that resulted in a half million pound deficit? |

For context the Tik Tok post is pinned to Liam Carpenter's account, it's a clip he's made. It's got 63m views and he has 600,000 followers.
Looks to me like a valid attempt to increase the reach of Patriot's account.

The Patriots media person is the same person who was Raiders for the past few seasons. Don’t confuse photography with media

Carry on Joe thinking that. As it’s 100% true. Paul did their media the last few seasons, Damian was only the photographer and made his own images for his own media pages! Hilarious you think otherwise!

That kind of weird horses##t may prove popular with 14 yr old South Korean schoolkids on tik tok given the Kardashian level engagement but let's see whether it transalates to filling up the venue on match days. Here's a clue - it won't. Maybe he was signed for his social reach rather than his ability to ball. I'm sure Lions are quaking/laughing/picking their jaw off the floor ahead of tomorrow's encounter. Whoever is allowing that car crash to infest a "pro" sports teams social media needs sacking, pronto.

I agree! Views on Tik tok does not lead to fans buying tickets.
Where has the world got to if we have to act like idiots to be seen as popular.
They need a lower number of quality fans from the South West instead of online fans (solely to watch joke videos) who will never come to a game to invest any money towards the club.
As I previously said, everyone is up for a laugh and a joke, when it is delivered appropriately. The content coming out is not appropriate.
Interesting the comment above regarding the Patriots trying to gain followers by using Liams account ... that seems the way to me too.
I am sure the sponsors are loving the association to the club with that video.
