Takk McKinley bans himself from social media
If you’re looking for insight from Falcons rookie defensive end Takkarist McKinley, don’t go to his social media accounts.
To focus on football, McKinley imposed a “social media blackout” for himself.
“It had to go,” McKinley said of his Twitter and Instagram accounts on Wednesday. “Sometimes social media and video games can become a distraction.”
McKinley said he wasn’t upset by the sometimes obnoxious posters on social media.
“It just became a distraction for me,” McKinley said.
McKinley was well-liked on Twitter, as some fans have noted his closed @Takk Twitter account.
Say it ain't true Tak. Your post be hilarious at times.
