Major League Baseball’s social media efforts are often funny. Sometimes clever. Mostly neutral. That’s actually a pretty good batting average for corporate social media which, often, is a total disaster.
But sometimes even the All-Stars strike out:
Every retweet this gets = a thank you to Jackie Robinson. #Jackie42 pic.twitter.com/dasoIa5rIC

What if I merely “fav” this? Does that give Robinson less of a “thank you” and more of a polite but cool nod? If I mute the MLB account because of this sort of misguided stuff, am I a latter day Ben Chapman?
Please, someone tell me how my social media habits communicate my feelings toward historical events.
