If you’re like many of the inhabitants of Buckeye Nation, you likely cannot wait for this year’s NFL Draft to finally be over with after the amount of negative and frankly ridiculous discourse that has mainly encompassed the draft stock of Justin Fields.
Somehow, the “experts” are convinced that the guy who didn’t need to play another snap of collegiate football in 2020 in order to be a first round NFL Draft pick but still led the charge in bringing back the Big Ten season isn’t a good enough leader. They’ll make a big deal of his health issues like his self-acknowledged battle with epilepsy despite never missing a football game in his life, playing through numerous seemingly significant injuries, and radically changing his entire diet to get himself in the peak physical shape to play the game.
Well, it turns out some of your favorite team social media content creators were actually employees of MLB and in a typically short-sighted move MLB has decided that those jobs are expendable. In a move that truly twists the knife we had to find out about these layoffs from the content creators of each account MLB did not issue an announcement regarding the decision to eliminate these positions.

I m very thankful for the league social crew and know they re all destined for bigger and better things. Richard Lee-Sam (@RLeesam) February 12, 2021
