Panthers’ social media manager deserves raise for response to Washington tweet
We don’t know who runs the Carolina Panthers’ Twitter account, but he or she deserves a raise for a fantastic response to a Washington post on Saturday night.
Washington held a rally at Whisky River in Charlotte in advance of Sunday’s road game against the Panthers, complete with former tight end Chris Cooley amping up the crowd. Because of the turnout, Washington sent out a tweet declaring Carolina as “Redskins country.”
The post didn’t escape the Panthers’ tweet master:
In case you haven’t been keeping track, last year the U.S Patent office canceled the “Redskins” trademark, calling it disparaging to Native Americans, and now the team is in the court system fighting for its offensive nickname.
The Panthers’ Twitter feed is one of the best in the NFL. Earlier this week, after a “concerned” Nashville wrote an open letter to Cam Newton in the Charlotte Observer because she didn’t like Newton’s post-touchdown dancing, the team’s account showed support to the quarterback.
