To be honest, it can be pretty jarring to see an older athlete join the social media world. While most of us are terminally addicted to every screen that enters our vision sphere, you’d think a legend would want to stay away from such troubles and just bask in their many accomplishments.
But alas: Fame (and fortune) can bring even the very best of us to give into #online insular communities.
The latest legend to cash in their chips and see what Twitter’s all about is Bears Hall of Famer Dick Butkus. Butkus, of course, is synonymous with not only the Bears but that whole idea of football being brutal, unforgiving, and a complete slog at times.
