Folks Have Been Trolling Hyundai’s #BecauseFootball
Why are corporations still using hashtags? They’re just opening themselves up to shenanigans. Which is why it’s no surprise Hyundai’s #BecauseFootball has been infiltrated with facts about the dangers of the sport, examples of its criminality, and even the odd joke or two. It’s not as big a train-wreck as #CosbyMeme, but as the examples below show, it’s certainly another social media fail. Lesson for brands: NEVER HASHTAG!
Suh kicked another guy in the head. #BecauseFootball

There are 50-year-old American men who used to play a sport and now can't remember their own names or bend their knees #BecauseFootball.

#BecauseFootball I now know it is less important to beat my wife then it is to not answer questions in a interview.
