I agree. I get having social media presence...but this is weird. It's not like the clever and funny responses on Twitter and other platforms. Taco bells and Wendy's social media comes to mind with quick funny responses. This is a tiktok personality. Found this on some wiki lage.

"Katie Feeney is an American TikTok Star and Social Media Personality who has a net worth of $1 Million. She is popularly known for uploading dance, unboxing, DIY, and comedy videos on her TikTok account."

This is what jumping the shark looks like.

I’m not as negative on the social media influencer as you guys are. This is designed to reach out to younger generation on their platforms. It does nothing for me personally but I don’t see how this hurts. She has 6.8 million tik tok followers and 2.2 million subscribers on YouTube. She is from Maryland and a fan of the team. You want to grow a younger and female audience this is not a bad attempt.

Just seeing the word "influencer" grinds my gears. I have nothing against any particular one, but as a whole, yuck. I'm probably just jelly because a lot of them make a lot of money for taking pictures of themselves lol. Bastards.

Millennials and Gen z are definitely living right. Instead of gen x that just moved into the boomers ( the worst generation in American history) world they reinvented the world to their desires. Hats off to them.

I don't know. I get it...but I hate it. I hate the whole "grow the brand" moniker that's always thrown around. More worried about fluff than product. And it seems that's just how business is done nowadays. It's not necessarily about a good product, more about the packaging the stuff comes in. I don't think I'm expressing it correctly, though.

Agreed.

Didn't realize we had so many boomers on board here. You either roll with the times or the times roll over you. If you don't get what this is all about, don't worry you're probably not in the target demographic.

Looking cute and getting Tiktok views is how teens get attention from each other and when they all see Katie wearing Commanders stuff in her TikToks it slowly makes the Commanders brand a little cooler in the minds of those teens. And those teens eventually become the 25-44s that spend money.

Nothing would make the new brand stick quite like winning, but the business side is doing what it can. Winning is probably too much to ask for this fucktard organization.

I don't understand Tik Tok. I have never been on it and will never go on it. A bunch of idiots on there doing dumb shit for money. And these so called influencers? lol. These young kids make me want to vomit but I do respect the hustle. Get your money, even if some of them makes fools of yourselves doing it. I know if all this shit was around when I was young I'd be all over it. Some of the crazy shit me and my friends did would be getting millions of views.. We all laugh about it when we get together.

[skinsfaninok]

Tik Tok is so stupid, I agree 69 I'll never ever get on that shit. I know grown ass adults that have accounts. Its embarrassing

In an offseason that has seen record-breaking contracts for wide receivers, three of the NFL's top young players at the position are looking for new deals of their own.

Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that 49ers star Deebo Samuel, Titans wideout A.J. Brown and Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin are seeking new contracts and are not expected to participate in any on-field work during their respective teams' offseason programs.

The Titans and Commanders begin their offseason programs Monday, while the Niners start Tuesday. Brown does not intent to report Monday, a source told ESPN's Turron Davenport, but McLaurin still plans to report on time for the start of Washington's program, a source told Schefter.

Not too worried, this is "normal" in negotiations. Would love to see what we offered him and what he requested.

Hope the team gets it done this offseason and we dont have to tag.
