Sorry, guys. You can't spell NPOV without N-O. From our best practices for
employees posting to branded accounts:
Do not post anything on our branded accounts that is personally motivated,
for instance a shout-out to an organization you like.
The 103rd anniversary of a football club that's won one championship in the
past 20 years (sorry, Joe) is just not newsworthy. It would open me up to
posting for everyone else's favorite team from everywhere in the movement.
And why just sports? Why not Ed's favorite battleships, or someone's
favorite band?
Objectively speaking, there's no reason to post this other than it being a
team member's favorite team. And that's a reason not to post it.
I'm open to brief and conclusive counter-argument.
Thanks for enduring my sanctimonious lecture.
Jeff
