What would the Cowboys of the 90's be with Social media like it is today.

Michael Irvin would have been suspended from the league and cut because of dope.
Charles Haley would have been a head case and all fans would have said don't bring him in.
Emmitt would have been traded because you don't need a RB to win a super bowl.
Backup QB Jason Garrett gets big contract after big Thanksgiving game.
We don't win those Super Bowls because Aikman doesn't play in some of those games because rules wouldn't allow him to play because of concussions.

Just a couple thoughts.

Well if your going there then half the team would have been suspended for all the extra-curricular white house activities (drugs/prostitution...etc.) which would have been all over face book and beyond. Didn't Larry Allen get into a physical twist with a dancer that was buried in court? I'm sure the pics and snap chats would have been flying around all over the place to prosecute the players to a much higher degree. But then again other teams aren't necessarily angels either which would level the playing field (no pun).

Remember when we thought tracking Jerry's plane was really cool? (actually it was but Jerry could never go anywhere no without somebody knowing something)

What would have happened? They would have adapted, just like people did when social media grew.

People haven't really changed. The means, speed and access in which we learn about them is what has changed.
