Penn State Football Got Absolutely Trashed for Super Bowl Tweet

Always think twice before you hit send. The official Penn State football Twitter account, with more than 400,000 followers, tweeted a picture this week with large text that read “A Penn Stater has appeared in every Super Bowl” and then fine print , almost unreadable, underneath read “except for five since 1967.” This didn’t sit too well with the internet, and naturally they fired back.

If my school's team tweeted a pic like this I'd be embarrassed. Horribly misleading, and a MAJOR stretch to desperately try to find something worth bragging about in your program.

This may be the weakest thing I’ve ever seen. Putting that in the VERY SMALL PRINT is just showing this program is thirsty.

This stat was cool when you didn't need the disclaimer. Now, publishing this gives people more fodder to make fun of Penn State.

Think about this in the future before you post. Be better, Penn State Football twitter account.

Whoever drafted that one probably regrets it now.

The internet remains undefeated. No fine print needed.
