Shutting it down: Clemson football players ready for season without social media

Posted Aug 18, 2015
Twitter. No Facebook. No Instagram. No Snapchat. So how in the world are Eric Mac Lain and D.J. Reader going to function without social media? “A big piece of my life has been removed,” Mac Lain admitted. “That’s how I get most of my information about the world,” Reader said. Truth be told, Mac Lain and Reader can still glean all the information they want via social media – they just can’t comment on it. The Clemson football team’s social media shutdown went into effect on Aug. 3, the first day of fall camp. (Greenville News)
