How Eagles and Packers beat writers are creatively getting around the Brazil Twitter ban

As soon as a Brazilian judge suspended the use of X (formerly Twitter) in the country last month, the buzz in the sports world was about an event that was coming up on Friday: the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers game.

How would beat writers for those teams tweet out info before, during and after the game if the app is banned and you can’t use a VPN to get around it (there are fines if you do)?

The answer: you either don’t tweet, you use another social media site (Threads, Instagram, etc), you create a live blog … or you let your family member do it for you when you send messages to them.

Good work, all.
