Perfecting the art of social media is not as easy as it sounds. Some Chicago Bears players have managed to do so. Kyle Long is of course the head honcho in that regard. However, there are a few underrated gems in their mix who are also profoundly good at it. One man who may have painted a new masterpiece was linebacker Sam Acho.
Acho is known for being a leader in the Bears locker room and a model citizen off the field. It's one of the reasons he's been retained since they signed him in 2015. At the same time he's somebody who looks out for his fellow players, and well as his people in the African-American community. He represented them all quite well in one fell swoop on Twitter.
How? By taking down two of the most polarizing figures in popular culture of the past year, neither for good reasons.
Sam Acho has no time for the Goodell-Trump feud
Over the past couple months the NFL has been embroiled in a series of controversies. One of them involves the ongoing player protests during the national anthem. This apparently raised the ire of President Donald Trump, who declared any player doing so should be punished by Commissioner Roger Goodell and the league. This issue has smoldered since then with both men finding new controversies to occupy their time. The latest for Trump involves him declaring that Time Magazine would likely declare him Person of the Year but would have to take a pass. This was later refuted by the magazine, but the statement was out there. Acho, ever on the ball, took advantage with this savage tweet.Not only did he throttle Trump for his prior statement, he also managed to get a dig in at Goodell who remains embroiled in a contract dispute with NFL owners. There are so many layers to what is essentially three sentences. That is what one might call efficiency. Bravo, Sam.
