Introduction

The NFL will not change what teams post on social media. This happens after a story about coach Mike Vrabel and reporter Dianna Russini.

Main Body

Some people saw photos of Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini together. Mike and Dianna say the photos are not bad. But the photos caused problems. Dianna left her job. Mike took a short break to talk with his family. NFL teams often make jokes about each other online. The NFL says teams must decide what to post. The NFL will not tell teams what to say. Some teams might not make jokes because they do not want people to look at their own secrets. Some people say we should not judge Mike. They say we do not know his private life. The New England Patriots did not fire Mike. He is still the coach.

Conclusion

The NFL lets teams manage their own social media. Mike Vrabel is still the coach for the Patriots.

  • Photos are not bad β†’ (The photos are okay)
  • Teams do not want β†’ (They want the opposite)

πŸ› οΈ Word Swap (A2 Level)

Positive β†’\rightarrow Negative

  • I know his life β†’\rightarrow I do not know his life.
  • The NFL helps β†’\rightarrow The NFL does not help.
  • They want secrets β†’\rightarrow They do not want secrets.
