Meh, people already look up players on social media as it is. This really doesn't change anything in the big scheme of things - names to a handle instead. Quote Link to comment

uberism Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Main point is folks, fans that will care to follow or whatever already likely do. Tom Brady, for example, only has 2 million followers on Twitter and how many people in the world don't know who he is? For a person like Trevor Lawrence, would he see millions of new followers on Twitter because he has a Twitter handle on his jersey? No. Would he have made a lot of money if NIL was in place with a Twitter handle on his jersey or not? Heck yes. A player that is a big name will make a lot of money with NIL regardless of what is on the jersey. With the Twitter handle on the jersey, it's just another jersey that is sold like they already are.

MyBloodIsRed16 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 why don't they use those barcodes all the restaurants are using so you can look up their menu online. People can just take a pic and it will lead you to their bio. Quote Link to comment

Sure, but this is not one of those. It's stupid to you, but to these kids whose lives revolve around social media and their following it might be one of the coolest things they can do. Ultimately, what goes on these kids jerseys should be more about what they want than about your convenience of knowing who it is. Every school publishes a roster with numbers so you can go look up any player whenever you want. 1 Quote Link to comment
